Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee has spoken publicly after his reported release from detention in the United Kingdom, denying the allegations against him and thanking Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for supporting him during the ordeal.

Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, made the comments during a video call with social media activist VeryDarkMan. He said he would have accepted the situation if he had committed the alleged offence, but maintained that he did nothing wrong.

“I was being myself. God sees my heart; my only worries out there were my people,” he said.
“If I to say I do wetin person talk, I for say, Omo I dey suffer for my sins, but as I no do anything, my mind is as pure,” Poco Lee added.

The dancer also acknowledged Burna Boy and Rahman Jago for standing by him while he was in detention.

“Nobody will probably want to attach themselves to something like this, but for them Burna Boy to stand for me and Rahman Jago,” he said.

Poco Lee said he received messages from people questioning why he remained happy despite his situation, suggesting that some people were pleased by what had happened to him.

He also urged men to be cautious in their dealings with women, saying, “Use 18 hours fear women."

Poco Lee had been facing sexual offence charges in the UK, including one count of attempted rape, two counts of rape, and two counts of assault by penetration. The case remains active, with a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing scheduled at Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 15.

Poco Lee’s latest appearance marks his first major public comments since the reports of his release, as he continues to deny the allegations against him.
