DJ Big N, the Nigerian disc jockey, has recounted how he was allegedly ambushed and attacked by armed men in Johannesburg, South Africa.
In an Instagram
post on Tuesday, Big N revealed that the incident occurred on
January 12. He also shared footage of himself in the hospital.
The disc jockey said he was on his way to a club with an
acquaintance when they were ambushed by six armed men with automatic rifles at
a traffic light.
Big N said in the chaos, he attempted to escape but was shot in the leg. According to him, one of the robbers then put a rifle to his head, demanding his watch, chain, and other jewelry.
The disc jockey said he managed to get back to the car, and
the driver rushed him to the nearest hospital.
He said the bullet had passed through his leg, narrowly
missing a major artery and bone. He said doctors described his survival as
“miraculous”.
The disc jockey also described the incident as the “worst
and most teachable experience in my life”.
“On Sunday, January 12th, a night out turned into both the
worst and most teachable experience of my life. I went out with with some
friends to a fancy lounge in Johannesburg, SA. From there I decided to head to
another club with another acquaintance,” he wrote.
“On the way, at a traffic light, we were ambushed by two
cars carrying six armed men with automatic rifles. In the chaos, I tried to
escape but got shot in the leg. One of the robbers put the rifle to my head and
demanded my watch, which I struggled to remove, along with my chain and other
jewelry.
“Bleeding heavily, I managed to get back to the car, and the
driver rushed me to the nearest hospital. The bullet had passed through my leg,
narrowly missing a major artery and bone. Doctors described this as miraculous,
calling me ‘lucky’. I credit my survival to divine intervention and my mother’s
prayers.”
Big N said the experience changed his “perspective on life” and he was grateful for a “second chance”.
He added that despite losing over $114,000 worth of
valuables, he realized that “material possession means nothing”.
“The experience changed my perspective on life. I lost over
$114k worth of valuables that day, but I realized material possessions mean
nothing. Life is fragile, and validation is meaningless. God gave me another
chance, and I’m committed to living more authentically and appreciating life
without unnecessary stress,” he said.
“This event restored my focus and reminded me of what truly
matters. I am Nonso Temisan Ajufo, also known as Big N, and this is my truth. I
met so many wonderful people in SA, and went to so many beautiful places and
like any other country, there would be bad eggs that paint the nation bad.
“South Africa. I Visit, I Don’t Judge. P.S (I stopped using
the crutches 2 days right after, I’m way better now).”
