Some Nigerian celebrities have spoken out in support of Nigerian dancer Poco Lee amid his ongoing prosecution in the United Kingdom.
Eelive.ng earlier reported that the Snaresbrook Crown Court in London confirmed that Poco Lee was due to appear over an alleged assault offence on September 15, 2026,
The dancer is alleged to be held on remand in the United Kingdom; however, the court update confirms that the matter has progressed beyond earlier reports of Poco Lee’s alleged arrest and detention, which began circulating online last week.
According to Snaresbrook court, the September hearing is listed as a plea and trial preparation hearing. This means Poco Lee is expected to formally respond to the allegation as the legal proceedings move forward.
Reacting, media personality Papaya Ex described the situation as heartbreaking to watch her friend go through such a difficult period, while urging people not to use the matter to chase clout.
She said she knows Poco Lee personally and believes there is more to the situation than what has been made public.
