Popular Nigerian content creator, Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, widely known as Peller, has expressed profound gratitude to God after a terrifying fire incident nearly consumed his house in the early hours of February 21, 2026. The social media personality shared a viral video detailing the harrowing experience, where he could be heard exclaiming in shock, "Jesus!
