In a shocking revelation, popular Nigerian TikToker and social media influencer, Oloba Salo, has publicly accused renowned singer Naira Marley of shooting him in Lekki, a bustling area in Lagos State. This serious allegation comes three months after Salo himself was shot multiple times in the same locality, raising concerns about safety and violence in the region.
DANDALI previously reported that Salo was hospitalized in October 2024 due to severe injuries inflicted on his legs during the shooting incident. The event left him with significant trauma and has since sparked discussions about gun violence and celebrity culture in Nigeria.
In a recent viral TikTok video, Salo decided to break his silence regarding the incident, claiming that he was shot three times and specifically naming Naira Marley and his associates as the perpetrators. His emotional outburst included the following statements:
“I just chose to be quiet all this while. It was Naira Marley and his boys that shot me in Lekki. I have the evidence. They shot three bullets at me. He can come and shoot me again. To people saying I just want to trend, is it Marley, using past glory, that I will use to trend?”
Salo’s allegations have ignited a firestorm of reactions on social media, with many expressing disbelief and others supporting his claims. The TikToker emphasized that he has proof to back his accusations, which he has yet to share publicly.
The online community has been abuzz with discussions surrounding Salo’s claims. Supporters have rallied behind him, calling for justice and accountability, while skeptics question the timing and motive behind his allegations.
As of the time of this report, Naira Marley has not issued any statement or response to the serious allegations made against him. Fans and followers are eagerly awaiting his reaction, as the situation continues to develop.
This incident not only highlights the potential dangers faced by public figures in Nigeria but also raises broader questions about the influence of celebrity culture on societal behavior. The implications of such accusations can be far-reaching, affecting the reputations and careers of those involved.
The ongoing discourse surrounding this issue serves as a reminder of the need for greater dialogue about violence and accountability in the entertainment industry, as well as the responsibility that comes with fame.
