Poco Lee Speaks After UK Bail, Maintains His Innocence

Nigerian dancer and entertainer Iweh Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has spoken publicly about his recent ordeal in the United Kingdom, insisting that he is innocent of the allegations against him.

Poco Lee made the comments during a video conversation with social commentator VeryDarkMan following his release on bail. The entertainer said he remained mentally strong throughout the difficult period because he knew he had not committed the offences he was accused of.

Poco Lee: “My mind is pure”

Speaking about the experience, Poco Lee said his major concern while dealing with the situation was not only himself but also the people around him and how his absence could affect their businesses and activities.

He said he would have viewed the situation differently if he had actually committed the offences for which he was accused.

The dancer maintained that his conscience was clear and that he trusted God throughout the ordeal.

UK court grants Poco Lee bail

The latest development comes after a UK court granted Poco Lee bail on September 11, 2026.

According to reports, the dancer is scheduled to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, September 15, for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing.

The hearing is part of the ongoing court process and is not a final determination of the case.

What charges does Poco Lee face?

Court information reported by Premium Times states that Poco Lee faces five sexual-offence charges: one count of attempted rape, two counts of rape and two counts of assault by penetration.

Poco Lee has denied the allegations.

The charges remain before the court, meaning they have not been proven against him. He has not been convicted of any offence.

The court has also placed restrictions on reporting information that could identify the complainant.

Case remains active

The development is particularly important because several conflicting claims have circulated online about the case, including suggestions that the matter had been withdrawn or settled outside court.

However, the UK Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed that the case remains active and that Poco Lee is expected to appear in court on September 15.

Poco Lee's management had previously urged members of the public and media organisations to avoid spreading unverified information about the case.

His team also specifically disputed online claims about “drink spiking,” saying such claims did not form part of the charges before the UK court.

Burna Boy and Rahman Jago show support

During his conversation, Poco Lee also acknowledged the support he received from people close to him while dealing with the legal situation.

He particularly mentioned Nigerian singer Burna Boy and social media personality Rahman Jago among those who stood by him during the difficult period.

The support has also generated reactions online, with fans and followers discussing how the entertainer's colleagues responded while he was dealing with the case.

What happens next?

Poco Lee is expected to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 15 for the next stage of the proceedings.

The court process will determine what happens next in the case. Until the allegations are determined through the judicial process, Poco Lee remains entitled to the presumption of innocence.

For now, the entertainer continues to maintain that he is innocent of the allegations against him.
