Popular Nigerian comedian and content creator Samuel Perry, better known as Broda Shaggi, is currently receiving medical treatment after sustaining a gunshot injury to his thigh while filming a comedy skit in Ogun State on Sunday March 9, 2026.
The incident occurred under the Sango-Ota bridge on Sunday afternoon. A police source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the content creator sustained the gunshot injury while filming a comedy skit at the location.

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. “He was seen on a stretcher with an injury to his thigh,” the source added.
The hospital contacted the police to report that a gunshot victim had been brought to their facility, prompting the immediate mobilisation of detectives and a patrol team. Officers who arrived at the hospital confirmed the victim was the well-known skit maker.
