Nigerian comedian and skit maker Samuel Perry, popularly known as Broda Shaggi, has shared a video on Instagram showing him being rushed to a hospital after reportedly sustaining a gunshot injury.

The video, which offers a glimpse of the incident’s aftermath, has drawn attention to the entertainer’s condition and the circumstances surrounding the reported shooting.

Shaggi said the incident occurred on March 9, although further details about the location, the circumstances of the shooting and the individuals involved were not immediately available.

The Lagos State Police Command had previously confirmed receiving a report from a private hospital in the Alakuko area concerning a patient who was brought in with a gunshot injury.

The police report brought attention to the incident, prompting questions about what happened to the comedian and whether the shooting was connected to any criminal activity.

However, details regarding the investigation, including the identity of any suspect and the motive behind the reported shooting, remain unclear based on the information available.

Shaggi, who is widely recognised for his comedy skits and entertainment content, has built a substantial following through his humorous portrayals of everyday Nigerian life and his distinctive performance style.

His work across social media and the Nigerian entertainment industry has earned him recognition as one of the country’s prominent digital comedians.

The development has attracted interest among fans, many of whom rely on his social media platforms for updates about his activities and personal life.

The video provides a personal account of the aftermath of the incident, but it does not independently establish all the circumstances surrounding the reported shooting.

Police investigations and further official statements would be necessary to clarify how the incident occurred and determine whether any criminal offence was committed.

Gun violence remains a public safety concern in Nigeria, where police authorities routinely investigate reports involving firearms and injuries. Such cases require evidence gathering, witness accounts and other investigative procedures to establish the facts.

For now, the circumstances surrounding Shaggi’s reported injury remain subject to clarification, while the video has brought renewed attention to the incident.

Further updates from the comedian, the Lagos State Police Command or other relevant authorities are expected to provide more information about his condition and the progress of any investigation.

TheTrafficNG could not independently establish from the available information whether anyone had been arrested in connection with the reported shooting or confirm the comedian’s latest medical condition.
