Nigerian disc jockey Nonso Ajufo, better known as DJ Big N, has recounted a harrowing robbery experience in South Africa, where he was shot in the leg by armed robbers.

In an Instagram post, DJ Big N shared details of the incident, which happened on January 12 in Johannesburg.

While out with an acquaintance, the DJ said their car was stopped at a traffic light and ambushed by six armed men.

According to him, the attackers demanded his valuables, including jewelry and other possessions.

During the chaos, DJ Big N said he attempted to flee but was shot in the leg, a momonet that made him appreciate the fickleness of life.

He said one of the robbers held a rifle to his head, forcing him to surrender his watch, chain, and other items worth over $114,000.

Despite heavy bleeding, the DJ said he managed to return to the car, and the driver rushed him to the hospital.

He said doctors described his survival as miraculous, explaining that the bullet narrowly missed a major artery and bone.

DJ Big N credited his survival to divine intervention and his mother’s prayers, noting that the incident gave him a new outlook on life.

He expressed gratitude for a second chance, emphasizing the fragility of life and the insignificance of material possessions.

Despite the traumatic event, DJ Big N praised South Africa for its beauty and the kindness of many people he encountered, stating that every country has its challenges.

He wrote, “On Sunday, January 12th, a night out turned into both the worst and most teachable experience of my life. I went out with some friends to a fancy lounge in Johannesburg, SA.

“From there I decided to head to another club with another acquaintance. 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.

“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.

“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”.
