Iweh Odinaka, better known by his stage name Poco Lee, is a Nigerian entertainer who has come forward to declare his innocence after receiving bail in the United Kingdom. Through a video discussion broadcast online Sunday with prominent social commentator VeryDarkMan, the dancer discussed how he maintained emotional strength by remaining true to his character throughout this difficult period.

His primary preoccupation during the time spent overseas was not centered on his legal troubles but rather on the wellbeing of those surrounding him—particularly their economic circumstances and how his unavailability negatively impacted their business endeavors. He stressed that his clarity of conscience stemmed from confidence in his own conduct and staying genuine amid adversity.

Poco Lee voiced his thanks toward those who remained supportive throughout this ordeal, making special mention of artist Burna Boy alongside close associates including Rahman Jago for their steadfastness. According to reporting available, Snaresbrook Crown Court has scheduled a plea and trial preparation hearing for September 15, 2026, at which point he will face five sexual misconduct allegations, which include attempted rape and assault by penetration charges.

The matter traces back to Poco Lee's visit to the United Kingdom in August 2026, when he participated as a performer at the Davido and Friends event held at the London venue Crystal Palace Bowl on August 14. The Crown Prosecution Service has indicated that the case remains active and proceedings continue.

Beyond Poco Lee's own remarks shared in the video call, no further information pertaining to specifics of the charges or additional circumstances has emerged in public reporting.
