Samuel Perry, the comic actor better known as Broda Shaggi, has been hospitalised after allegedly being shot while filming.
Confirming the incident to TheCable Lifestyle on Friday, Oluseyi Babaseyi, the Ogun police spokesperson, stated that while the event occurred, its location could not be verified.
He confirmed that Broda Shaggi is receiving treatment in Lagos but noted that efforts to reach him had been unsuccessful.
“Thank God you said alleged. We cannot confirm that it happened within our jurisdiction. We can confirm that he is in Lagos,” he said.
“I am trying to communicate with Broda Shaggi, but I have not gotten to him yet.”
The skitmaker was filming around the Sango Ota bridge in Ogun state when he was reportedly shot in the leg.
He was initially rushed to a hospital in the Alakuko area of Lagos before being transferred to another facility in the Government Residential Area (GRA) of Ikeja.
Abimbola Adebisi, the Lagos police spokesperson, said the command was alerted by a hospital that had received a patient with a gunshot wound. Upon arrival, police discovered the victim was Broda Shaggi.
Adebisi added that although the incident occurred outside Lagos, an investigation is ongoing to apprehend those responsible.
