Peller was arraigned alongside Bello Oladipo on Monday over an incident that allegedly occurred on July 2 along the Coastal Road in Lekki, Lagos.
The case followed a viral video that showed Peller in an altercation with police officers after he was stopped for allegedly driving a vehicle without a number plate.
