VIDEO: How I was hit by stray bullet — Broda Shaggi

Nigerian skit maker, Samuel Animashaun Perry, popularly known as Broda Shaggi, has recounted how he was hit by a stray bullet while filming at the Sango-Ota Bridge in Ogun State in March 2026.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, the comedian recalled hearing a loud bang before realising he had been shot.

“All of a sudden, all I heard was a loud bang. Everywhere was silent. But I could still see people moving outside, people talking, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. It was just total silence in the car,” he recalled.

He said he touched his hip and noticed blood, which made him realise that he had been hit by a stray bullet.

“I didn’t want to die. I just don’t want to die,” he said, describing his thoughts as he was rushed to the hospital.

According to him, the first hospital he was taken to administered first aid before transferring him to another facility because it lacked the equipment needed to treat him. He said he was admitted to the emergency room at the second hospital.

Recounting the challenges he faced during recovery, Broda Shaggi said he felt useless because he could no longer engage in the activities he loved.

“I feel very useless. While in the hospital, I could not act, I could not dance, sing or do whatever I loved,” he added.

The comedian also revealed that watching videos of his colleagues sometimes made him laugh but left him in tears as he worried about whether he would be able to return to his former life.

“I couldn’t imagine myself not being able to drop six skits in a month,” he said, adding that he feared people might forget him.
