Poco Lee Addresses UK Sexual Offence Allegations
Nigerian dancer and entertainer Iweh Odinaka, known as Poco Lee, spoke about the sexual offence allegations against him in the UK, asserting his innocence. In a video conversation with social commentator VeryDarkMan, he expressed confidence during the ordeal, focusing on the impact on his associates and business rather than the allegations.
Poco Lee emphasized that he would have felt guilty if he had committed the alleged acts, but he maintained a clear conscience. He acknowledged support from Nigerian singer Burna Boy and social media personality Rahman Jago.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that the case remains active, with Poco Lee scheduled to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 15, 2026, for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing. He faces five charges, including attempted rape, two counts of rape, and two counts of assault by penetration, stemming from his visit to the UK for the Davido and Friends concert on August 14.
The court has imposed a reporting restriction to protect the complainant's identity.
