The entertainer, whose real name is Samuel Perry, was reportedly shot on Sunday afternoon, March 8, under the Sango-Ota Bridge in Ogun State.
A police source confirmed to Punch Newspapers that Broda Shaggi was immediately rushed by members of his crew to Blooming Care Hospital, where he received initial medical attention.
According to the source, medical personnel at the facility administered first aid shortly after he arrived.
He was later transferred to Duchess International Hospital in Lagos State, where he is currently recovering.
