The management of Nigerian dancer and singer Poco Lee has addressed the sexual assault case involving the entertainer in the United Kingdom, urging the public to allow the legal process to run its course.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, August 25, the management confirmed that the matter is currently before a UK court and stressed that Poco Lee has not been convicted of any offence.
The team warned against treating allegations as facts, stating that guilt can only be determined through the appropriate legal process.
“Allegations are not evidence of guilt, and no conclusions should be drawn until the matter has been heard and determined through the appropriate legal process.”
The management also specifically rejected reports circulating online about alleged drink-spiking, saying such claims are not contained in the allegations currently before the court.
“We ask the public and media to desist from introducing details that are not part of the actual case, as doing so only fuels misinformation and causes unfair prejudice to all parties involved.”
Reports of Poco Lee’s arrest in the UK emerged on August 19 in connection with a sexual assault allegation. However, details concerning the alleged victim and the circumstances of the case have not been fully established publicly by British authorities.
Separately, US-based Nigerian rapper Ms Jorji has made allegations against Poco Lee in videos shared online. She claimed that the entertainer attempted to sexually assault her and her girlfriend about two years ago during a visit to his home in Dallas.
Those claims have not been independently established by a court or law enforcement agency, and no connection has been established between them and the ongoing UK case.
Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, became widely known after appearing in Zlatan Ibile’s Zanku (Legwork) music video in 2018. He has since worked with prominent Nigerian artistes including Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide and Naira Marley.
His management said any further developments concerning the UK case would be communicated through official channels, while urging the public and media to exercise patience and restraint as the proceedings continue.
