Nigerian TikToker, Ojesanmi Afeez, popularly known as Salo, has reportedly been shot in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

Salo was shot in the leg at a filling station in Lekki by assailants who robbed him of his gold chain.

An eyewitness who spoke with Punch on anonymity said the content creator is currently fighting for his life at Perez Medcare Hospital, Lekki Phase 2.

The source said,  “When I got to the hospital, I was not allowed to enter, the nurse just said we should keep praying for him because his condition is critical.

“We don’t know who he offended. Just like he might not know too. You cannot be wiser and tricky than the person watching you. I just advise him to be careful if he eventually survives this.”

Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, said,“Salo was truly shot yesterday at Admiralty Way, Lekki. We have begun investigation into the incident and I will give you further updates.”

Before the incident, Salo reportedly had an altercation with his fellow TikToker, Tobi Nation, over the purchase of a new apartment.

Salo claimed to have connected Tobi Nation with the agent that sold his Lekki house to him, but Tobi Nation disagreed, saying that he didn’t subscribe to the payment option he suggested.

However, reacting to the attack, Tobi Nation said it was sad to hear the news, stressing that he had visited the hospital where Salo was admitted but was not allowed in.
