Popular Nigerian skit maker and comedian, Broda Shaggi, has recounted his ordeal following a shooting incident that left him hospitalised for months.

The comedian, whose real name is Samuel Perry, disclosed that the incident occurred on March 9, 2026, while he was returning from a brand activation.

Recounting the incident, Broda Shaggi said everything happened suddenly as they were leaving the venue and had encountered traffic and a crowd on the expressway.

“Everything happened so fast. We went for a brand activation. We were leaving, and we were already on the expressway. There was a traffic jam, and there was a crowd too. All I heard was a loud bang, and everywhere went silent.

“I could see people talking, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. I turned my hip and touched it. I saw blood, and that was when I realised I had been hit,” he said.

The comedian explained that he was unconscious but remembered praying until he arrived at the first hospital, where he received first aid.

According to him, he was later transferred to another hospital, where medical personnel admitted him to the emergency room and commenced treatment.

Broda Shaggi said that even after waking up the following day, he continued to experience pain and began questioning why the incident had happened to him.

“When I woke up the following day, the pain was still there. I started asking myself questions: Why did this happen to me? I questioned God
