The decision follows a viral video in which the influencer was seen live streaming while driving—an act the FRSC said reportedly resulted in a road traffic crash.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Mr. Olusegun Ogungbemide.
According to the statement, the Corps Marshal expressed deep concern over what he described as a growing trend of reckless road use by celebrities, social media influencers and content creators who, in the pursuit of online attention, flout traffic regulations and endanger lives.
He stressed that live streaming, recording or engaging in any form of content creation while driving is a clear violation of traffic laws and poses serious risks to both drivers and other road users.
The Corps Marshal consequently directed the Lagos State Sector Commander to immediately commence prosecution of the individual involved for reckless driving, use of a phone while driving and distracted driving, in line with extant traffic laws.
“This incident, which could have resulted in loss of lives, serves as a grim reminder that fame does not confer immunity from the law, nor does it excuse dangerous behaviour on public roads,” the statement read.
The FRSC boss further warned that public roads are not studios or stages, adding that such actions undermine national efforts to reduce road traffic crashes and fatalities.
He also called on actors’ guilds, entertainment associations, influencer networks and content creator communities to urgently call their members to order and promote responsible conduct on Nigerian roads.

Nigerian government should fix social media age at 21.
ReplyDeleteOne online profile, no 2 accounts whether blog or paid stream,duly registered with both Nigerian passport and NIN.
All this madness will end!
He needs serious rehabilitation,he's in a hurry to meet a particular target.
The red flags are there ðŸ˜
Before he is rendered "useless".
I didn't watch the video anyway.
Ndo Pellet. I don't do horror.🤷

He should also be charged for attempted suicide, tho that might not fly..
ReplyDeleteHe should just be taken to the bush and flog some senses into his head
Kangs
DeleteLivestreaming?
ReplyDeleteTelling people he wants to die....?
Driving at 32kmh (or less).....?
And wearing a seat belt....?
Naa, he wasn't ready to die. He was chasing clout.....
That small boy needs serious help
DeleteThey should send him to prison maybe his brain will reset.
I don't watch his clips.
I blame the mumu that make him famous. E get some kind live on TikTok that come across my fyp that I can’t even stand for 2 seconds so my algorithm knows to never bring such on my fyp any longer. I only hear of his antics thru blogs. His gf Jarvis was interesting as a robot but when they started toxic ship content n inviting pellet in I lost interest. Naija social media rewards idiocy n emptiness. That’s why TikTok lives are banned past 12 am in naija
DeleteSocial media validation is one bad vice that we don't get to talk about on a daily.
ReplyDeleteWho indulges in such dangerous act and goes ahead to record?
What was he thinking?
Because of a break up? Oh! He feels if she dumps him, he'll lose his relevance? And then he goes ahead to endanger people's lives while at it?
There should be a serious penalty for this stunt he pulled. Let it not slide like that!
Attention addicted low thinking insecure nuisances and their idiotic antics
