Following the video’s circulation, some social media users questioned why Peller, who is known for his flamboyant lifestyle and frequent display of wealth online, had allegedly not done more to improve his father’s living conditions.
However, other commenters offered a different explanation of the man’s role.

Some individuals who claimed to be familiar with Peller’s family and their roots in Ikorodu, Lagos, explained that the man is not an ordinary security guard. According to them, he serves as the leader of a local vigilante group within his community.
