Nigerian TikToker Peller has raised alarms about receiving death threats after he urged fellow Nigerians to stop the #30DayRants challenge on TikTok to prevent a potential ban on the platform.
He has faced a lot of backlash for his suggestion to avoid criticizing poor governance through the #30DayRants challenge. Peller emphasized that if the criticism continues, it could lead to TikTok being banned in Nigeria, which would negatively impact his earnings.
In a recent livestream, Peller shared that he was threatened with violence, with some people saying they would shoot him, referencing the shooting of his colleague, Oloba Salo, in the Lekki area of Lagos State last year.
He said, “I have been receiving death threats. Some people threatened to shoot me like they shot Salo in Lekki Phase 1. They asked me to watch my back when going out.
“What is all these? I’m not talking again. Good bye.”
