Broda Shaggi Reveals He Was Hit by a Stray Bullet

Nigerian comedian and actor Broda Shaggi has revealed that he was hit by a stray bullet in March 2026, an incident that kept him away from work for several months and left him uncertain about his future in entertainment.

The skit maker, whose real name is Samuel Animashaun Perry, shared his experience in a YouTube documentary titled Second Chance (The Story), released on October 21. He recounted how the incident happened, the medical treatment he received and the difficulties he faced while recovering from the injury.

According to Shaggi, the shooting occurred on March 9, 2026, after he and his team had completed a brand activation assignment in the Sango-Ota bridge. They were travelling on an expressway when traffic slowed because of a crowd. He recalled hearing a loud bang before noticing blood around his hip.

Shaggi said he lost consciousness before arriving at the hospital. He received first aid at the initial facility before being transferred to another hospital for further treatment.

The comedian underwent surgery in Nigeria but continued to experience difficulties moving his injured leg. He said further treatment was delayed because his medical markers had not stabilised. After about four months, he decided to seek additional medical care in Dubai, where he underwent another operation.

Beyond the physical challenges, the injury affected his work and left him worried about his career. Known for his energetic skits, dancing and musical performances, Shaggi said he struggled with the possibility that he might not be able to return to the activities he enjoyed.

He also spoke about the emotional strain of spending months away from work. Watching videos of colleagues continuing their careers sometimes brought him to tears because he was unsure whether he would regain his previous abilities. During his recovery, however, he continued writing content and developing a series for his YouTube channel.

Shaggi’s condition has since improved. He disclosed that he can now stand independently and walk, although he still uses crutches for support. He acknowledged that his recovery is ongoing but expressed gratitude for surviving the incident.

The comedian also revealed plans to return to work with new projects that were delayed during his months of treatment. He described the experience as a second chance and encouraged fans to look forward to his upcoming content.
