Nigerian dancer Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has reportedly regained his freedom after spending weeks in detention in the United Kingdom over an alleged sexual assault case.
The development comes weeks after reports that Poco Lee was arrested in the UK over a sexual assault charge. His management had confirmed that the matter was before a UK court and asked the public to allow the legal process to run its course.
The team also warned against treating the allegations as fact, stressing that Poco Lee had not been convicted of any crime. It further denied claims linking the case to alleged drink-spiking, saying such claims were not part of the complaints before the court.
A social media post by Instagram user lifedramar said, “Freedom at last! No one is guilty until proven. Congratulations to Poco Lee and the entire team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make his release possible. And I also want to say this; celebrities and public figures can easily become targets, so please stay safe out there, guys.
“Be careful who you trust, where you go, and the people you surround yourself with. Fame comes with its own risks, so always stay alert and protect yourself. Welcome back to freedom!”
Popular Nigerian streamer Peller also claimed during a livestream, “Yes o guys, Poco Lee is out. They talk say that girl that sue Poco Lee say the girl e run away from the case, say e leave the case. God go bless the girl, na God go bless am, is a good person,”
He added, “The girl that make Poco Lee go to prison, the girl comot the case, UK lawyer con leave Poco Lee,”
