Broda Shaggi is alive, according to the latest reports, and he has revealed that he was shot by a stray bullet in March 2026 while leaving a filming/brand activation event in the Sango-Ota area of Ogun State, Nigeria. He has been recovering after undergoing surgery in Nigeria and further treatment in Dubai.
What happened to him?
– March 9, 2026: Shaggi says he was in a vehicle when he heard a loud bang and realised he had been struck by a bullet in the hip area. He described fearing for his life.
– Hospital treatment and surgery: He received initial treatment in Nigeria, but his recovery was difficult, and he said he could not move his injured leg normally.
– Further treatment in Dubai: He underwent another operation and began making progress with his mobility.
October 2026 update: In a video published on October 21, he opened up about the experience, saying he was grateful to be alive. He reported that he can now stand without crutches, although he still uses them for support.
Is he returning to comedy?
Yes. Shaggi has said he is preparing new projects and plans to return to entertaining his fans. His months-long absence had caused concern, and false death rumours circulated online, but those claims were denied.
The exact circumstances of the shooting have not been fully clarified publicly in the reports I found. His latest update is encouraging, but he is still recovering.
