Recall that Guardian Life reported that Poco Lee initially travelled to the United Kingdom in mid-August 2026. The international trip was for his performance engagements and hosting duties within the European Afrobeats entertainment space

Among these engagements was his highly anticipated appearance at the Davido and Friends Concert, which took place at the prestigious Crystal Palace Bowl in London on August 14, 2026. While the trip started as a resounding celebration of Nigerian street pop culture on a global stage, it quickly took an unexpected turn just days after the concert concluded, leading to his arrest and temporary detention by British law enforcement.

Poco Lee is currently facing active legal proceedings at the Snaresbrook Crown Court in East London. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed that the entertainer faces five serious counts, which include one count of attempted rape, two counts of rape, and two counts of assault by penetration.

Following his initial arrest, the dancer was held on remand before securing a conditional bail release on September 11, 2026. In a recent public video call with social commentator VeryDarkMan, Poco Lee strongly maintained his absolute innocence, asserting that his mind remains pure because he did not commit the alleged acts. Due to the absence of a finalized charge sheet during his scheduled appearance on Tuesday, September 15, the court officially adjourned the Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing (PTPH) to February 8, 2027, with the full trial officially scheduled to commence on March 8, 2027.

Born and raised in the Ojo area of Lagos State, Iweh Pascal Odinaka developed his passion for dance while studying Microbiology at Lagos State University (LASU). He rose to stardom around 2018 when a video of him doing the “Legwork” and “Zanku” dance styles went viral online.His raw talent quickly caught the attention of Zlatan Ibile, the pioneer of the Zanku movement. The duo formed an immediate, historic artistic partnership that permanently altered the landscape of Nigerian street-pop choreography. Over the years, Poco Lee expanded his brand into hyping, master of ceremonies (MC) duties, and musical collaborations, working alongside top-tier global acts such as Burna Boy and Wizkid.
