Nigerian dancer and socialite Iweh Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has been formally charged in the United Kingdom with five alleged s+xual offences, including attempted r@pe, two counts of r@pe and two counts of a+s@ult by pen+tration.
Snaresbrook Crown Court in London confirmed the charges on Wednesday, with the court’s Admin Team Leader, James Baker, confirming the details in an email to The Punch.
The court also imposed a reporting restriction to protect the anonymity of the complainant under the S+xual Offences Amendment Act 1992.
Poco Lee’s case is scheduled for plea and trial preparation on September 15, 2026, as the legal proceedings continue.
The dancer has previously been the subject of reports concerning the case, with his management and legal representatives calling for restraint while the matter remains before the court.
The charges remain allegations, and Poco Lee has not been convicted of any offence.
The development has also sparked reactions online, with some social media users calling for caution and others commenting on the allegations.
