Nike Peller, daughter of the late Nigerian magician Professor Peller, has revisited the circumstance

Nike Peller, daughter of the late Nigerian magician Professor Peller, has revisited the circumstances surrounding her father’s death, alleging that he was attacked by suspected hired assassins inside his Lagos residence while observing his prayers.

According to a video post by Oyinmomo TV on YouTube, on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Nike made the revelation during an interview in which she provided details about the incident and explained what reportedly happened on the day her father was killed.

Recounting the events, Nike explained that Professor Peller had returned home after attending a wedding ceremony.

Shortly after arriving at his residence, he reportedly went upstairs to pray.

However, while he was already praying, armed men allegedly gained access to the house and attacked him.

Nike disclosed that she was not at home when the incident happened because she was away at a movie location.

She explained that she received information about the development later and immediately rushed to her father’s residence in the Onipan area of Lagos.

Unfortunately, by the time she arrived, her father had already been taken to Ajayi Memorial Hospital for medical attention.

Reflecting on the circumstances surrounding the attack, Nike questioned the possibility that the incident was an ordinary robbery.

According to her, the nature of the attack made her believe that the individuals responsible were hired assassins who had deliberately targeted her father.

She also made another striking claim about the alleged attackers, stating that none of them is still alive.

During the interview, Nike further clarified that her father was not merely preparing to pray when the attackers arrived.

Rather, he was already engaged in prayers when the armed men reportedly invaded the residence.

Emphasising this point, she said: “Not like he wanted to pray, he was actually praying when they came. They would be hired assassins because they can’t be thieves. None of them is still alive.”

Her account has brought renewed attention to the circumstances surrounding the death of the renowned entertainer, particularly her claim that the attack was a planned operation rather than an ordinary robbery.
