According to Dr Kemi, writing on her Facebook page on July 8, 2026, Nigeria's police financial unit had already completed an interview with Peller on behalf of an FBI attaché before the public arrest even took place.
She alleged that officers deliberately used a tinted windows violation as a pretext to detain him, and that a physical altercation followed before he was taken into custody and subsequently released on bail.
Peller's arrest reportedly occurred around July 4, 2026, with blogger Gistlover breaking the news on Monday, July 6, saying the Nigerian-based content creator had already spent two days behind bars before bail was secured.
Tax clearance demand raises questions over Peller
Dr Kemi zeroed in on one detail of his bail conditions that she finds particularly telling.
Peller was reportedly required to produce a two-year tax clearance certificate as part of his release terms, a requirement she described as unusual and pointed.
"Did Peller even pay tax? This is where they are going to nail him," she wrote bluntly.
She also claimed the entire episode was partly staged to observe how Nigerian youth respond to and defend individuals accused of fraud.
"The post was a set up for 3 US journalists who are attached to the FBI," she wrote. "They wanted to see how Nigerian youth support fraud."
The journalist insisted Peller was working with the authorities, even if he had not said so publicly, adding:
"He is cooperating, but he won't tell you that."
Dr Kemi has previously raised concerns about the source of the lion gifts TikTok viewers send streamers, suggesting some of the funds flow from fraudsters operating abroad.
Fan reactions to Dr Kemi's Peller claims
Followers weighed in with a mix of scepticism and support after the post circulated online.
Seye Ogunrinola wrote:
"Dr Kemi Talks, you have said it several times that those lion 🦁 gifts are American stolen money sent through South African fraudsters. Anyways, Peller is not guilty until proven beyond a reasonable doubt"
Maluwa Maluwa said:
"What if the expose turned out to be real? All those who insulted her, what will be their response?"
Bishop Kcm added:
"I still don't know why people are still doubting @Dr Kemi."
