Popular TikToker, Ojesanmi Afeez, widely known as Salo, has reportedly fallen victim to a violent robbery in Lagos’ Lekki district.
Late Thursday night, fellow TikToker and frequent collaborator, Tunde Perry, revealed the shocking news. Salo, now in critical condition, is battling for his life at Perez Medcare Hospital in Lekki Phase 2 after being shot in the leg by attackers who stripped him of his gold chain.
“They have shot Salo in the leg. They have also stolen his gold chain at one filling station in Lekki. Some boys just rushed him to the hospital and I have gone there now.”Perry said.
A viral video captured Salo’s white AMG GLE 43 Mercedes Benz, its interior stained with blood, and a bullet casing found on the driver’s seat.
An anonymous eyewitness familiar with the situation shared that Salo’s condition was dire.
“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.” the source said.
