Nigerian content creator Jubril Oladapo Gbadamosi, widely known as Officer Woos, has publicly denied reports alleging that he announced the death of his longtime colleague and friend, Broda Shaggi. The denial came after a post circulated on X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming that Officer Woos had shared news of Broda Shaggi's death on Instagram.
Viral Claim and Official Denial
The controversy began when an X user posted a photograph of Broda Shaggi alongside a message that read: “Officer Woos just announced the passing away of his brother Broda Shaggi via his IG page. May his soul rest in perfect peace.” Officer Woos responded by taking to his Instagram Story and sharing a screenshot of the post, which he accompanied with a statement refuting the claim.
In a statement released on Saturday by his legal representatives, Versed Attorneys, the content creator described the allegation as false, malicious, and defamatory. According to the statement, anonymous social media accounts deliberately published unverified information in an attempt to mislead members of the public. The lawyers stressed that Officer Woos has never announced the death of any colleague, associate, or friend on any of his social media platforms.
Legal Statement and Context
“Our client has never announced the death of any colleague, friend, or associate on any of his platforms. These publications are entirely manufactured and constitute a deliberate attempt to mislead the public,” the statement said. The incident comes only a few months after another false report alleged that Broda Shaggi had been shot while filming around the Sango-Ota Bridge area of Ogun State in March 2026. At the time, the claim circulated widely online before being dismissed.
Recall that the comedian had earlier dismissed separate allegations claiming that he had been arrested for drug transportation. This pattern of false reports has prompted Officer Woos to take legal action to protect his reputation.

Social media users reacted to Officer Woos' statement. @chrisemilogames commented: “Who else come to this page after seeing the news ?? or or or or omo I sh sh sh shoc” @n.i.femi_noted: “Wallahi immediately I saw it on TikTok I entered is page on ig straight this bloggers are mad Sha.” @adeni_mo shared: “As you they make money. 2 things is important in your life get yourself a lawyer and a doctor.

Officer Woos, known for his role as a confused and stammering police officer in skits, previously made headlines in 2021 when he bought himself a brand-new Lexus. In a video posted online, the shirtless comedian was seen sporting a huge smile as he entered his new car. Fans and celebrities congratulated him on his achievement.
