TikToker Peller: God Used Police Detention To Save Me From Accident That Killed Sam Larry’s Bouncer And Left The Man Himself In Wheelchair
TikToker Peller has recounted how his arrest for insulting policemen on stop and search duty in Lagos saved him from a ghastly car crash that killed the bouncer of socialite popularly called “Sam Larry” on Saturday July 4 and left Samson Erinfolami Balogun (real name) himself in a wheelchair.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Peller narrated:
“The day I was arrested, Sam Larry had an accident the second day.
“That Sam Larry’s car I was supposed to be inside because we had a conversation before that day.
“He told me he wanted us to go to one of his friends’ hotel, so he was supposed to come and pick me up that day so we could go there together.
“But I was at the police station and slept in the cell.
“If not, I would have also been involved in that same accident.
“Na so God use police save me….”
THE ACCIDENT
The music promoter was involved in a road accident along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway in Lagos State.
According to reports, the vehicle carrying Larry and his bouncer collided with a trailer, leaving the car severely damaged and took the life of the bouncer, who died on the spot.
PELLER’S DETENTION
Peller was arrested on July 2, 2026 and detained for five days by the police after a traffic confrontation with officers in Lagos.
