Court adjourns rapper Odumodublvck's assault trial again

An Abuja court has once again postponed the trial of Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, widely known as Odumodublvck, who faces charges of assault and battery. The hearing was adjourned until October 13 and 14 for further proceedings.

“

The matter was for hearing.

During the resumed hearing, the claimant's lawyer, Uchenna Ojembe, announced their appearance and readiness to proceed, noting that the sole witness, Ogbogiri Okey Levi (also known as Kraziecent), was present in court. However, the defense counsel, Damilare Adeojo, informed the court about a motion filed on November 25, 2025, which had been served to the claimant's counsel. Adeojo requested another adjournment to prepare his defense, stating he had already appealed to the opposing counsel for consideration.

The claimant Ogbogiri Okey Levi, aka “Kraziecent”, the sole witness, was in court and he was ready to proceed.

Ojembe objected to the adjournment request, citing multiple previous delays initiated by the defendant. He urged the court to impose a cost of N500,000 against the defense counsel if the adjournment was granted. Adeojo countered this, objecting to the cost and pleading for an adjournment without any financial penalty.

I filed a motion on notice dated Nov 25, 2025, and had served the claimant’s counsel.

Presiding Justice Adeyemi Ajayi advised the claimant's counsel to extend professional courtesy to his colleague. The lawsuit was initiated by Kraziecent against Odumodublvck following an alleged assault and battery incident at a public event in December 2024. Kraziecent claims that Odumodublvck assaulted him and damaged his iPhone 15 Pro Max without provocation while he was recording, causing him significant emotional distress. The claimant is seeking an order for medical expenses, a public apology across Odumodublvck's social media platforms and two national dailies, or alternatively, N2 billion in damages.

Adeojo pleaded for another adjournment to enable him to prepare for his defence, saying he already begged the claimant’s counsel to consider his request.
