Popular Nigerian comedian and social media influencer, Samuel Perry, widely known as Broda Shaggy, has reportedly been hospitalised after sustaining a gunshot injury during a skit production in the Sango-Ota area of Ogun State.

According to Punch Metro, the incident occurred on Sunday afternoon under the Sango-Ota bridge, although the exact circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear.

A police source who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to comment on the matter said the content creator was injured while filming a comedy skit at the location.

“He was shooting a skit under the Sango-Ota bridge when he sustained a gunshot injury. We don’t have details on how it happened yet, but his crew members who were present quickly rushed him to the hospital,” the source said.

The source added that Broda Shaggy was immediately taken to Blooming Care Hospital in the Alakuko area of Lagos, where medical personnel administered first aid upon arrival.

The report added that the comedian was later referred to Duchess Hospital located in the Government Residential Area of Ikeja, where he is currently recuperating.

Confirming the development on Thursday, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Abimbola Adebisi, said the police were alerted after the hospital reported that a gunshot victim had been brought to the facility.

“The hospital contacted the police to report that a gunshot victim had been brought to their facility. Detectives and a patrol team were immediately mobilised to the hospital, where they discovered that the victim was a skit maker and social media influencer popularly known as Broda Shaggy.

“He was seen on a stretcher with an injury to his thigh. The location of the incident is in Sango-Ota and not within our jurisdiction, but the investigation is ongoing,” she said.

However, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Oluseyi Babaseyi, said the command had not received any official report about the incident.

“The incident was alleged to have occurred in Ogun State, but it was not reported,” he said.
