Nollywood actor and comedian Samuel Perry, popularly known as Broda Shaggi, has recounted how a stray bullet injury kept him away from work for months, leaving him uncertain about his future in entertainment and afraid that fans might forget him.
In a YouTube video uploaded on Wednesday night, the comedian narrated his experience, confirming PUNCH Online’s earlier exclusive report of the incident.
In March 2026 that the incident happened on a Sunday afternoon while Shaggi was filming a comedy skit under the Sango-Ota bridge.
While the circumstances surrounding the incident remained sketchy, a police source, who requested anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, said the social media influencer sustained a gunshot injury.
The Ogun State Police Command, however, stated that it could not confirm whether the incident occurred within the state.
In a brief statement sent to the media, the command’s spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while the investigation continued.
Recounting the incident, Shaggi said he was on a routine brand activation assignment when he was shot by a stray bullet.
He said he was overwhelmed by fear as he saw blood and waited for medical attention.
“I was totally unconscious till I got to the hospital. So, I didn’t even know how we got to the hospital. But one thing I could remember was me praying till we got to the first hospital where first aid was administered,” he said.
Describing his condition at the time, he said, “A lot was happening at the same time. I was sweating. I was holding my leg, you know, I was seeing blood and all I wanted to hear was a doctor or a nurse telling me Samuel, you’ll be fine.”
The comedian said the injury made him worry about whether he would be able to continue his career, particularly because dancing and other physical performances were important parts of his work.
He recalled thinking about how he would continue dancing, singing and playing the drums if he could no longer use his leg.
Shaggi said he had maintained a demanding work schedule for years before the incident.
“Since 2018 till date I never rest. It’s always back to back. If I’m not writing I’m shooting. If I’m not shooting, I’m in the studio making music. If I’m not making music, I’m travelling for something,” he said.
He explained that being away from work for an extended period made him fear that audiences might forget him.
