TikToker Ojesanmi Afeez popularly known as Oloba Salo has shared details of his near-death experience after being tracked and shot three times by hired killers along Freedom Way in Lekki.
Speaking in a recent TikTok live following weeks of treatment at Perez Medcare Hospital in Lekki Phase 2, Salo recounted the events and vowed to avenge the attack.
According to him, the ordeal began when he stopped for drinks before heading to meet someone who promised him a million naira.
On his way, he encountered a group of men who claimed to know him from Ibadan and addressed him by his real name. It was then he realised he was being targeted.
“Remove your chain,” one of the attackers reportedly said.
Before Salo could react, the assailant fired a warning shot into the air. Despite the threat, Salo refused to comply.
The gunman then shot him in the body, leaving him in agony. “I struggled to breathe, and they shot me two more times. They aimed for my head, but they ran out of bullets,” he said.
In an emotional outburst, Salo cursed his attackers saying, “You’ll lack money. Those who pointed their guns at me shall never find peace. You’ll die one by one, and in pain. I won’t accept this. You’ll suffer on earth and in heaven.”
Salo also questioned why he was targeted while more prominent figures like Portable and DJ Chicken were left alone.
“Please, what did I do? You saw Portable and you didn’t attack him, Chicken too. Why do you want to kill me? What have I done?” he said in Yoruba.
Reflecting on the experience, Salo expressed gratitude to singer Zlatan for offering emotional and financial support.
“I thank God for Zlatan, you shall never lack. He told me, ‘a man doesn’t cry.’ Zlatan also contributed for me,” he added.
Fans have reacted to Salo’s video with mixed comments.
