Popular Nigerian dancer and hypeman Iweh Pascal Odinaka, professionally known as Poco Lee, is facing five sexual offence charges in the United Kingdom, with his next court appearance reportedly scheduled for September 15, 2026.

According to online reports, officials at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London confirmed that Poco Lee is listed for a plea and trial preparation hearing. The reported charges include two counts of rape, attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration.

The development provides further clarity following days of speculation surrounding the entertainer’s reported arrest and detention in the UK.
