Nigerian dancer and entertainer Iweh Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has reportedly been released from detention in the United Kingdom after spending weeks in custody over allegations of sexual offences.
The reported release was announced by Nigerian content creator and streamer Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, during a livestream.
Peller claimed that the woman who accused Poco Lee of sexual offences had withdrawn from the case, leading to the entertainer’s release.
“Yes o, guys, Poco Lee is out. They talk say that girl that sue Poco Lee say the girl e run away from the case, say e leave the case. God go bless the girl, na God go bless am, is a good person,” Peller said.
He further claimed that the withdrawal of the complaint resulted in the legal process against Poco Lee being discontinued.
“The girl that make Poco Lee go to prison, the girl comot the case, UK lawyer con leave Poco Lee,” he added.
Poco Lee had been remanded in the UK after being accused of attempted rape, two counts of rape and two counts of assault by penetration. Snaresbrook Crown Court in London confirmed the charges in August and imposed a reporting restriction to protect the identity of the complainant.
The court had previously listed the matter for plea and trial preparation on September 15, 2026. The court’s confirmation followed reports that Poco Lee was being held on remand in a UK prison.
The dancer had travelled to the UK in August for the Davido and Friends event at the Crystal Palace Bowl in London on August 14. Reports of his detention subsequently emerged online.
