Nigerian content creator Habeeb “Peller” Hamzat narrowly avoided disaster after a fire broke out in his Lagos apartment.
The social media personality shared footage of the incident on his Instagram page on Saturday, showing flames consuming his generator while he urgently called for assistance.
In the video, Peller appears visibly shaken as the fire intensifies around the power unit. He can be heard shouting for help as he attempts to manage the situation.
Fire Reportedly Brought Under Control After 30 Minutes
According to the caption accompanying his post, the generator involved in the fire was recently purchased. The blaze was eventually extinguished after approximately 30 minutes.
Supporters and followers quickly reacted in the comment section, expressing relief that the situation did not escalate further. Many credited the swift response and quick intervention for preventing more serious damage.
As of the time of reporting, the exact cause of the fire has not been officially confirmed.
Previous Incident on Lekki–Epe Expressway
The latest scare comes months after Peller was involved in another controversial incident along the Lekki–Epe Expressway in Lagos.
The influencer previously drew public attention following a viral video that showed a dangerous driving episode during a live broadcast, which ended in a crash. The situation led to his arrest by the Lagos State Police Command.
Safety Concerns Around Generator Use
Generator-related fires remain a recurring safety concern in parts of Nigeria, particularly in densely populated residential areas. Experts often advise proper ventilation, professional installation, and routine maintenance to reduce fire risks associated with fuel-powered equipment.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the recent apartment incident.
More updates are expected as further details emerge.
