Stray Bullet: “Traffic backed up because of the crowd, and all of a sudden,I heard a loud bang–Perry

According to a report by Premium Times, on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Nigerian comedian and actor Samuel Perry, popularly known as Broda Shaggi, has recounted the frightening experience that left him fearing for his life after he was struck by a stray bullet and subsequently underwent surgery.

The entertainer described the incident as one of the most difficult experiences of his life, explaining that everything happened so quickly that he struggled to understand what was unfolding around him.

His account has provided details about the incident that interrupted his public appearances and kept fans worried about his condition for several months.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, Broda Shaggi sustained a gunshot injury in March while filming a comedy skit in Sango-Ota, Ogun State.

The incident resulted in his hospitalisation and forced him to suspend his usual public activities.

The injury also interrupted his regular entertainment content, leaving fans without the skits and social media updates they had come to expect from him.

The circumstances surrounding the incident raised concerns among his followers, particularly as the comedian remained away from the public eye for an extended period following the shooting.

For months after the incident, the 33-year-old entertainer stayed largely away from social media and stopped posting his usual comedy skits.

His prolonged absence prompted concern among fans, many of whom began seeking information about his condition.

As uncertainty over his recovery continued, Nigerians took to social media to express their concern and offer prayers for his wellbeing.

His silence left many followers wondering about the severity of the injury and whether he would be able to return to his regular entertainment activities.

Broda Shaggi has now broken his silence in a video shared on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, where he explained the seriousness of the injury and the medical treatment he received.

He disclosed that he underwent surgeries in Nigeria and abroad as part of his treatment.

His account indicated that the recovery process involved significant medical intervention following the shooting.

By speaking publicly about the experience, the comedian offered his audience an explanation for his lengthy absence and revealed the extent of the health challenges he faced after the incident.

Recounting the events of the day, Broda Shaggi said the shooting occurred on March 9, 2026, after what had initially appeared to be a routine workday.

He explained that he and his team had completed a brand activation and were already leaving the location when the incident happened.

According to him, traffic had slowed because of the crowd along the expressway when he suddenly heard a loud bang.

His account described how quickly the situation changed from an ordinary professional engagement into a frightening experience that would eventually require surgery and a prolonged period away from his fans.

He said, “9th of March, 2026. It was a crazy day. A day in my life I wish never happened. Everything happened so fast that I barely could even understand what was happening around me. It was just a normal day, like a day I would go out for any brand activation until the devil decided to show up. We were done with the activation and already leaving. In fact, we were on the expressway. Traffic backed up because of the crowd, and all of a sudden, I heard a loud bang.”
