Controversial streamer Peller has alleged that he has been receiving death threats after calling on Nigerians to stop participating in the ongoing #30DayRants challenge on TikTok.
Peller has faced intense criticism for discouraging Nigerians from using the challenge to speak out against poor governance. He warned that continued participation could lead to TikTok being banned in Nigeria, which he argued would negatively impact his livelihood.
During a recent livestream, Peller claimed that he had received threats from individuals who warned they would attack him in the same manner as his colleague, Oloba Salo, who was shot in the Lekki area of Lagos State last year.
“I have been receiving death threats. Some people threatened to shoot me like they shot Salo in Lekki Phase 1. They told me to watch my back when going out,” he said.
Frustrated by the threats, he concluded, “What is all this? I’m not talking again. Goodbye.”
