Nigerian content creator and streamer Carter Efe has accused fellow creator Peller of being responsible for the removal of his TikTok account following the platform’s decision to permanently ban the page.
Carter reportedly made the allegation on Thursday night, shortly after his account was taken down by TikTok. The development has sparked reactions among fans and social media users, particularly because the account had reportedly built a large following and served as an important platform for Carter’s content and entertainment activities.
The streamer alleged that Peller hacked his account and linked the incident to the permanent ban. However, the allegation remains a claim by Carter Efe, and there is no independent confirmation that Peller accessed or compromised the account.
The latest development has attracted attention because both Carter Efe and Peller are prominent figures in Nigeria’s fast-growing digital entertainment industry. Their online activities have generated significant engagement, making disputes between the creators particularly visible to their respective audiences.
A permanent TikTok ban can have significant consequences for a content creator, including the loss of access to followers, content archives and potential advertising or commercial opportunities connected to the platform. For creators who depend heavily on social media for visibility and income, account security and compliance with platform rules are therefore increasingly important.
TikTok reportedly cited multiple policy violations in permanently banning Carter Efe’s account, although the specific violations have not been publicly detailed. The creator has previously experienced issues involving his TikTok presence, making the latest ban another setback for his digital career.
Carter Efe, whose real name is Oderhowho Joseph Efe, is known for comedy, music-related content and livestreaming. Peller is also a popular Nigerian online personality, with a large audience across social media platforms.
The dispute comes as Nigerian content creators increasingly rely on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube to build careers and reach global audiences. The circumstances surrounding Carter’s ban, and his allegation against Peller, are likely to remain a subject of discussion unless further evidence or clarification emerges.
