Broda Shaggi Breaks Silence After Shooting Incident

Published 8 August 2026

Popular Nigerian comedian and actor Samuel Perry, known professionally as Broda Shaggi, has broken his months-long silence to thank fans for their unwavering support following a reported shooting incident earlier this year. In an emotional message shared on his WhatsApp channel on Friday, August 7, 2026, the entertainer expressed gratitude to those who remained loyal during his absence from public life and social media.

Perry acknowledged that he had been unable to connect with his audience as he normally would but said their patience and encouragement had been a source of strength. "To everyone whos still here waiting, checking in, showing love, and holding me down even through the silence, thank you," he wrote. "I dont think yall truly understand how much that means to me."

The message comes months after reports emerged that Perry was injured in a shooting incident while filming a comedy skit. According to multiple accounts, the incident occurred in March 2026 near the Sango-Ota Bridge in Ogun State. Perry was reportedly shot in the leg and was first taken to a hospital in the Alakuko area of Lagos before being transferred to another facility in Ikeja for further treatment.
