Poco Lee on Remand in UK Prison as Dancer Faces September Plea Hearing

Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee on remand in UK prison is expected to appear before a court in the United Kingdom in September, according to Nigerian-UK community advocate Oluomo of Derby.

Oluomo of Derby disclosed the development in a post on X. He said he could confirm reports that the popular dancer had been arrested and was being held in a UK prison.

“I can confirm that the reports are true. Poco Lee is currently on remand in a UK prison,” he wrote.

The advocate said Poco Lee’s next court appearance is expected to take place in the second week of September.

He added that the hearing would be a plea hearing. At that stage, the dancer is expected to indicate whether he intends to plead guilty or not guilty to the offence.

However, the specific offence involved has not been disclosed in the information provided by Oluomo of Derby.

The development has attracted attention because of Poco Lee’s profile as one of Nigeria’s prominent dancers and entertainers. He has built a large following through dance performances, music collaborations and social media content.

For now, details surrounding the case remain limited. It is also unclear from the available information whether Poco Lee has entered any plea or whether a court has made any substantive ruling in the case.

The reported September hearing could provide more information about the allegations and the next stage of the legal process.

Until then, claims about the case should be treated with caution, particularly because being held on remand does not amount to a conviction.
