Nigerian TikToker Ojesanmi Afeez, popularly known as Salo, was shot in the leg in the Lekki area of Lagos State. The incident occurred at a filling station where assailants attacked him and stole his gold chain.
An eyewitness, who spoke to Punch on the condition of anonymity, revealed that Salo is currently fighting for his life at Perez Medcare Hospital in Lekki Phase 2. “When I got to the hospital, I was not allowed to enter. The nurse said we should keep praying for him because his condition is critical,” the source reported.
The witness added, “We don’t know who he offended. He might not know either. You cannot be wiser than the person watching you. I just advise him to be careful if he survives this.”
Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin stated, “Salo was truly shot yesterday at Admiralty Way, Lekki. We have begun an investigation into the incident and will provide further updates.”
Before the shooting, Salo reportedly had an altercation with fellow TikToker Tobi Nation regarding the purchase of a new apartment. Salo claimed he connected Tobi with the agent who sold his Lekki house, while Tobi disagreed, stating he didn’t agree to Salo’s proposed payment option.
In response to the attack, Tobi Nation expressed his sadness over the news, emphasizing that he had visited Salo at the hospital but was not permitted to enter.
