Nigerian disc jockey Nonso Temisan Ajufo, widely known as DJ Big N, has shared his harrowing experience of narrowly escaping death during a robbery in Johannesburg, South Africa.
According to DJ Big N, the incident occurred on January 12 while he was heading to a club with an acquaintance. They were ambushed by a gang of six men.
During the attack, he was shot in the leg while trying to flee.
The robbers made away with his jewelry and other valuables valued at $114,000. DJ Big N recounted that he was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors described his survival as nothing short of “miraculous.”
In an Instagram post, Big N wrote in part, “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 either automatic rifles.

“In chaos, I tried to escape, but I 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 jewellery. 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.”
He said the experience has changed his perspective on life, stressing that he would be “committed to living more authentic life and appreciating life without unnecessary stress.”
