Lawyers representing popular Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, widely known as OdumoduBlvck, have petitioned the Lagos State Police Command following an alleged attempt to arrest the musician in the early hours of August 29, 2026.
The petition, dated August 31, 2026, was filed by Marshal Attorneys and addressed to the Assistant Commissioner of Police at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Lagos State Police Command.

According to OdumoduBlvck's legal team, officers arrived with an invitation letter at approximately 3:00am, a move they described as inappropriate and procedurally irregular.
"On the 29th of August, 2026 at about 3:00am, officers of the Nigerian Police Force purportedly acting on your Command swooped on our Client with an invitation letter purportedly issued by your good self," the lawyers wrote in the petition.
OdumoduBlvck's matter already before court, lawyers argue
The legal team maintained that the incident was particularly troubling because the subject matter at the heart of the police action was not new.
They noted that the Inspector General of Police's office was already handling it through the IGP Monitoring Unit, and that related proceedings were pending before an Abuja Magistrate Court.
On those grounds, they argued that launching a fresh, parallel investigation from a separate command amounted to a duplication of process and was inappropriate given the active court case.
The attorneys also pointed out that they had previously responded to an earlier police invitation on behalf of their client, and that one of the lawyers had denied authorship of a prior invitation letter, making the 3am visit even more puzzling.

OdumoduBlvck "not wanted by Police," lawyers say
In a public notice accompanying the petition, the lawyers were clear that their client had not evaded or resisted any lawful process.
They stated that OdumoduBlvck had no outstanding warrant of arrest against him and had, through his legal representatives, responded promptly to every legitimate invitation.
"Our Client remains, as he has always been, a law-abiding and reputable citizen who respects due process and the rule of law. He continues to fully cooperate with the appropriate authorities through his legal representatives and has nothing to hide," the statement read.
The legal team requested that the Assistant Commissioner of Police launch an urgent inquiry into what happened that night and urged the command to defer the matter to the Inspector General of Police's office, which they described as the appropriate authority already engaged with the case.
The lawyers also called on fans, media, and the general public to disregard unverified speculation and rely only on statements issued by OdumoduBlvck's legal representatives.
