Popular Nigerian influencer and streamer, Habeeb Hamzat Alao, better known as Peller, was reportedly found on Thursday morning after being allegedly kidnapped overnight by unidentified gunmen (UGM).
The incident, which unfolded during a live stream on Wednesday night, showed Peller engaging in a heated exchange with unidentified men whom he initially mistook for police officers.
“This one dey do like police he be, he dey carry gun. Calm down, you dey point gun, no dey do like that,” Peller was heard saying in the viral clip.
One of the men, however, fired back: “Na me you dey talk to like that?” Moments later, the influencer was seen being taken away from his vehicle.
Confirming the development, comedian and skitmaker Carter Efe went live shortly after the incident, calling one of Peller’s close associates. The unnamed associate said: “They kidnapped Peller. I swear to God. They had gun to his head that is why he was calm.”
In a fresh update Thursday morning, media personality Sandra Benede announced in her live broadcast that Peller had been found. She, however, did not disclose details of his condition or how he was recovered.
As of press time, neither Peller nor his associates have issued an official statement regarding the alleged abduction or his reported recovery.
The incident has sparked widespread concern among fans and social media users, many of whom have called on authorities to investigate the matter.
