FRSC to Prosecute TikToker Peller Over Reckless Driving The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has ordered the prosecution of popular TikTok streamer Habeeb Hamzat, widely known as Peller, following a viral video that showed him livestreaming while driving—an action that reportedly ended in a road crash. According to the FRSC, the act is a direct violation of road traffic regulations and poses grave danger to other innocent road users. In a statement issued on Monday and signed by the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, the Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, expressed serious concern over what he described as a growing trend of reckless road use by celebrities, content creators, and social media influencers. Mohammed warned that the quest for online attention does not justify endangering lives, stressing that the FRSC will not hesitate to apply the law to anyone found violating traffic rules, regardless of social status or popularity. #FRSC #RoadSafety #RecklessDriving #NigeriaNews

Two Killed, Four Injured As Truck Crashes Into Motorists In Lokoja Despite Daytime Ban At least two people were killed and four others severely injured after a haulage truck rammed into motorists and pedestrians at Felele bus-stop in Lokoja, Kogi State, on Tuesday night.
