Broda Shaggi Recounts Near Death Experience, Thanks God for Second Chance

Orion reports.

Nigerian comedian Broda Shaggi has opened up about the frightening experience that nearly cost him his life, revealing how a stray bullet left him uncertain about his future.

The entertainer, whose real name is Samuel Animashaun Perry, said he was caught in traffic near the Sango Ota bridge on March 9, 2026, while returning from a brand activation shoot when he heard a loud bang. He soon discovered he had been shot in the hip.

He was rushed to a hospital in Alakuko, but was reportedly transferred to a facility in Ikeja because the first hospital lacked the equipment needed to treat him.

His recovery took months, and the injury affected movement in his leg. Beyond the physical pain, Shaggi feared he might never make skits again or reconnect with the fans who had supported his career.

For someone who had spent years making others laugh, the thought of losing his ability to entertain was difficult to bear.

Now, he is sharing his journey through a comeback video titled The Second Chance, expressing gratitude to God for sparing his life and giving him another opportunity.

“God gave me a second chance,” captures the message behind his return.

Shaggi’s experience is a reminder of how quickly life can change. His comeback is not just about returning to comedy, but about surviving a frightening ordeal and finding hope again.

For his fans, his return is a reason to celebrate. He is alive, recovering and looking ahead to a new chapter.
