A video showing the father of Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has sparked reactions on social media after he was spotted wearing what appeared to be a security uniform during an event in Ikorodu, Lagos.
The footage, which circulated online, showed Peller’s father around a market area during what appeared to be a masquerade-related gathering.
He was dressed in a T-shirt, black trousers and a face cap, with some viewers interpreting the outfit as that of a private security operative.
The video quickly generated discussion among Peller’s fans, with some questioning why the content creator’s father was still involved in security-related work despite his son’s publicly displayed success and financial lifestyle.
Some commenters argued that Peller, who has frequently shown his ability to spend money on luxury items and other personal interests, should have provided his father with a different means of livelihood.
However, other social media users offered a different explanation of the situation.
Some people who claimed to be familiar with Peller’s family and their background in Ikorodu said his father is not an ordinary security guard, but is involved in community security and reportedly serves as the head of a local vigilante group.
According to those claims, his appearance at the event was connected to his responsibilities within the community, particularly the provision of security during the gathering.
Some commenters also referenced Peller’s previous statements about his father’s background in security and said he is known locally by the nickname “Lakaye.”
The explanation has added another dimension to the conversation, with some people urging viewers to establish the circumstances behind the video before drawing conclusions about the older man’s occupation.
While some viewers continue to believe the footage showed Peller’s father working as a security guard, others insist that he was carrying out responsibilities associated with his alleged position within the community vigilante structure.
There has been no independent confirmation of the exact nature of his role at the event.
The video continues to generate reactions online, with social media users debating Peller’s relationship with his father, his father’s community role and whether his appearance at the event should be interpreted as employment or community service.
