Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Big N, has shared a terrifying account of his recent robbery experience in South Africa.
Big N, stated this in an Instagram post, narrating how he was attacked and shot in the leg by armed men.
According to DJ Big N, the incident occurred on January 12th, when he was out with an acquaintance in Johannesburg. “On the way, at a traffic light, we were ambushed by two cars carrying six armed men with automatic rifles,” he recounted.
DJ Big N described how he tried to escape but was 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 jewellery,” he said. “Bleeding heavily, I managed to get back to the car, and the driver rushed me to the nearest hospital.”
Despite the severity of the attack, DJ Big N credited his survival to “divine intervention and my mother’s prayers.” He shared photos of himself in the hospital and using crutches, saying, “The bullet had passed through my leg, narrowly missing a major artery and bone. Doctors described this as miraculous, calling me ‘lucky.”
The experience, DJ Big N said, has changed his 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,” he reflected.
“God gave me another chance, and I’m committed to living more authentically and appreciating life without unnecessary stress,” DJ Big N vowed. “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.”
DJ Big N noted that he has made a swift recovery, stopping the use of crutches just two days after the incident.
