Dignity Etukudo, an up and coming Nigerian artist, also known as Digi, almost lost her life recently.

The 26-year-old singer almost died after she was shot by a trigger-happy policeman at a friend’s wedding where she was to perform at in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos.

According to her, “The bride is a family friend and I was also one of  the bridesmaids. The reception started very late. We decided to stay back to allow the traffic in that axis to pine down. While we were at the after party, I performed. As I was coming out to get a cab to go home at about 9pm or 10pm, I heard a policeman arguing with the bride’s brother and his friend at the car park.

"I  saw one of the policemen hit the bride’s brother with his gun. The policeman was so angry that he threatened to shoot. He positioned his rifle to shoot and I became nervous and started shouting ‘please don’t shoot. He is the bride’s brother.’

"My plea fell on deaf ears. He fired a shot. It happened in a flash. I felt the bullet hit me. The only thing I remembered saying was ‘oga you don kill person. You don kill’… I thought I was dead. The next time I opened my eyes was at the Navy Reference Hospital, Ojo. The bullet hit me in the shoulder and pierced out of my back, just four centimeters away from my heart. 

"I had several blood transfusions. I fought to stay alive from the day I was rushed to the hospital. I did a debrimo surgery. I can’t move my hand at the moment because it happened around my shoulder. I demand justice.”
