BREAKING: Popular comedian Broda Shaggi shot, hospitalized
Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Broda Shaggi, has reportedly been hospitalised after he was allegedly shot while filming a comedy skit in the Sango-Ota area of Ogun State.
The entertainer, whose real name is Samuel Perry, was said to have been recording content with his crew on Sunday afternoon under the Sango-Ota bridge when the incident occurred.
According to reports, the comedian sustained a gunshot injury during the shoot and was immediately rushed by members of his team to Blooming Care Hospital in the Alakuko area of Lagos for urgent medical attention.
A police source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to comment on the matter, explained that the incident occurred while the skit maker was filming with his crew.
“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.
Doctors at the hospital reportedly administered first aid after he was brought in.
Further reports indicated that Broda Shaggi was later referred to Duchess Hospital in the Government Residential Area of Ikeja, where he is currently recuperating.
The spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Abimbola Adebisi, confirmed that the police were alerted after the injured entertainer was taken to the hospital.
According to her, the hospital contacted the police to report that a gunshot victim had been brought to their facility.
Detectives and a patrol team were subsequently mobilised to the hospital, where officers discovered that the victim was the popular skit maker.
“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, stated that the incident had not yet been officially reported to the command.
“The incident was alleged to have occurred in Ogun State, but it was not reported,” he said.
