Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, is scheduled to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London today, September 15, for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing in connection with a case involving five sexual offence charges.
The hearing comes days after the entertainer was granted bail on September 11, following proceedings related to the case.
Poco Lee is facing two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration and one count of attempted rape.
The case has drawn attention in Nigeria following reports of the dancer’s arrest and subsequent detention in the UK.
His release on bail has also generated discussion online, with some reports suggesting that the case had been resolved.
However, the proceedings remain active, with Poco Lee scheduled to appear in court today. He has not been convicted of any offence, and the allegations against him remain to be determined by the court.
