A video showing the father of popular Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, has sparked reactions online after he was spotted in what appeared to be a security uniform at a ceremony in Ikorodu, Lagos.
The footage, which circulated on social media, showed Peller’s father standing around a market area during what appeared to be a masquerade-related event.
He was dressed in a T-shirt, black trousers and a face cap, an outfit some viewers associated with the uniform of a private security company.
Fans Question Peller’s Father’s Job
The video generated discussions among Peller’s fans, with some questioning why the popular streamer had not provided a different source of livelihood for his father, considering his public display of wealth and spending.
Some social media users expressed surprise that Peller’s father could still be seen carrying out security-related duties despite his son’s success as a content creator.
The reactions also led to questions about the older man’s actual role in the community.
‘He Is the Head of the Vigilante Group’
However, some people who claimed to know Peller’s family and their roots in Ikorodu offered a different explanation.
According to them, Peller’s father is not simply a regular security guard but serves as the head of a local vigilante group in the community.
They suggested that his appearance at the event was connected to his responsibilities within the group, particularly the need to provide security during the gathering.
Some commenters also referenced Peller’s previous remarks about his father’s security background, noting that he is popularly known in the area by the nickname “Lakaye.”
Video Sparks Mixed Reactions
The clarification did little to stop discussions surrounding the viral footage, as social media users continued to share different opinions about Peller’s father and his role within the community.
While some viewers initially interpreted the footage as showing him working as a private security operative, others maintained that his presence was part of his duties as a vigilante leader.
The video has continued to attract attention online as fans debate the circumstances surrounding Peller’s father’s appearance at the event.
