Prominent Nigerian dancer and hype man Iwelunmor Patrick Osagie, widely known as Poco Lee, is currently being held on remand in a United Kingdom prison following his recent arrest, according to UK-based Nigerian community advocate Oluomo of Derby. The advocate confirmed the entertainer's legal situation in a statement shared on X, addressing days of intense social media speculation surrounding the dancer's whereabouts and current status in the country.
Poco Lee is scheduled to make his next appearance in a UK court during the second week of September for a formal plea hearing. During the upcoming proceeding, the entertainer will be required to indicate whether he intends to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges brought against him. The confirmation comes shortly after rumors of his arrest first began circulating online on Tuesday, August 18.
The legal trouble follows serious allegations raised by rapper Ms Jorji, who publicly claimed on Wednesday, August 19, that Poco Lee had attempted to sexually assault her and a friend. While specific details regarding the official charges remain tightly held by authorities, the claims sparked widespread reaction across social media and within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Addressing the public, Oluomo of Derby announced plans to attend the September court proceedings to observe the case as part of his ongoing advocacy for the Nigerian diaspora in the UK. He urged fans and commentators to refrain from premature judgment, emphasizing the importance of letting the judicial system work and reminding the public that every individual remains innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
