Actor Charles Okocha, widely recognized as Igwe Tupac, shared a traumatic experience that reinforced his faith in a higher purpose for his life.
Reflecting on the incident that took place on December 27, 2015, in Nnewi, he expressed deep gratitude to God for surviving after being shot six times by a police officer.
Okocha recounted the events of that day while he was attending a wedding. After stepping outside to take a phone call, he encountered two individuals who introduced themselves as fans.
One of them, who was set to marry in just three days, asked if Okocha could attend his wedding. As they exchanged contact details, a seemingly inebriated police officer approached, also claiming to be a fan.
In a shocking escalation, the officer drew his AK-47 and, despite Okocha’s efforts to calm the situation, discharged the weapon into the air.
Tragically, the gun was set to automatic, unleashing a series of bullets that struck Okocha six times, while the groom-to-be was hit once and later died from his injuries.
Okocha views his survival as a miraculous indication that his life’s purpose remains unfulfilled.
