Broda Shaggi recounts survival after stray bullet injury

Nollywood actor and comedian Samuel Perry, known as Broda Shaggi, has shared his harrowing experience of being shot in the hip by a stray bullet while filming a comedy skit. The incident occurred on a Sunday afternoon while he was working on a brand activation assignment near the Sango-Ota bridge. Shaggi recounted that he was completely unconscious for the duration of the incident, only regaining consciousness upon arriving at the hospital for medical attention.

He described the fear and confusion he felt as he saw blood and waited for medical help, praying for swift recovery. The injury left him questioning his future in entertainment, particularly his ability to continue performing physically demanding acts such as dancing, singing, and drumming. Shaggi had maintained a rigorous work schedule since 2018, rarely taking a break, and feared that months away from work might cause his fans to forget him.

He attributed his determination to keep moving forward to the support of his colleagues and the promise of new projects on the horizon. After surgery in Nigeria, Shaggi underwent further treatment and physiotherapy in Dubai, gradually recovering his mobility. While still using crutches for support, he expressed gratitude for surviving the incident and vowed to return with new projects for his fans.
