Sexual Assault Allegation: Poco Lee Returns to Social Media After UK Detention

Popular Nigerian dancer and entertainer Iweh Pascal Odinaka, better known as Poco Lee, has returned to social media weeks after making headlines over sexual assault charges in the United Kingdom.

The dancer shared a series of pictures and videos on his Instagram page on Tuesday, offering followers a glimpse into his activities in London.

In the photos, Poco Lee appeared relaxed as he walked around Cabot Square in London before later enjoying a meal at a restaurant.

He also posted a video showing himself preparing Chinese food while listening to music.

The social media appearance represents his first major update since he became the subject of legal proceedings in the UK.

In August 2026, the Snaresbrook Crown Court confirmed that Poco Lee was facing five sexual offence charges. The charges include two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration.

The alleged offences were reported to have occurred in Tower Hamlets, east London, on July 23, 2026.

Poco Lee was subsequently granted bail on September 11, 2026, after spending weeks in custody.

The case remains active despite claims circulating on social media that the complainant had withdrawn the allegations.

His management has urged members of the public to disregard unverified reports and allow the legal process to take its course.

The dancer’s next plea hearing has been scheduled for February 8, 2027, while the trial is expected to commence on March 8, 2027.

Away from the legal proceedings, Poco Lee has built a name for himself as one of Nigeria’s prominent dancers and entertainers.

Born Iweh Pascal Odinaka on October 21, 1996, in Orlu, Imo State, he is the son of Kenneth and Augustina Iweh and the third of five children.

He was raised in Ojo, Lagos, where he attended Nigerian Navy Primary School and later Command Day Secondary School. He subsequently proceeded to Lagos State University for his bachelor’s degree.

Poco Lee lost his father when he was 10 years old, leaving his mother to raise the five children.

His stage name reportedly originated from his junior secondary school days. He was nicknamed “Poco” because of his small stature. The name was inspired by “poco a poco,” a musical expression meaning “little by little.”

He later added “Lee” to the nickname, explaining: “They started calling me ‘Poco’. I added ‘Lee’ to spice it up.”

Poco Lee captioned his latest Instagram post simply, “ODINAKA.”
