Peller narrowly escapes as fire guts Lagos residence

 

Nigerian TikTok sensation and streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has escaped a fire incident involving his generator.

The social media influencer disclosed the incident in a post shared on his Instagram page on Saturday, where he uploaded a video capturing the early morning blaze.

In the footage, flames were seen engulfing the generator as Peller, who was visibly distressed, repeatedly called for help to assist in putting out the fire.

The fire, however, was eventually contained after what appeared to be prolonged efforts using buckets of water.

The generator was destroyed, while the house and occupants were spared.

Fans and followers flooded the comment section with messages of relief, attributing the outcome to quick intervention and luck.

The video also circulated across other social platforms, drawing safety concerns from viewers.

As of the time of filing this report, the cause of the fire could not be independently verified.

The incident comes months after Peller survived a separate scare on the Lekki–Epe Expressway.

During that episode, which unfolded in a widely shared livestream, the influencer was seen driving his Mercedes-Benz while visibly emotional.

The broadcast, titled “RIP Peller,” triggered concern after he made a series of distressing remarks.

In the video, Peller appeared agitated during a phone conversation believed to involve his girlfriend, amid speculation about their relationship.

At several moments, he expressed fear and made statements that alarmed viewers before crashing the vehicle into a roadside object.
