Poco Lee reportedly released in UK as complainant drops case – Peller
The prosecution service said the case remains active and Poco Lee is still due for a plea and trial preparation hearing, despite reports of his release.
- On Saturday, Nigerian dancer Iweh Odinaka, professionally known as Poco Lee, appeared in a video with Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, providing the clearest public indication yet that he is no longer in custody in the United Kingdom.
- Authorities had detained Odinaka regarding five sexual offence charges, including two counts of rape, stemming from an alleged incident in Tower Hamlets, London, on July 23, 2026.
- Content creator Peller and other associates claimed the complainant withdrew from the case, prompting the release; however, the Crown Prosecution Service has not confirmed these assertions.
- The CPS confirmed the case remains active, with Odinaka scheduled to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing on September 15, 2026.
- This public appearance occurs just two days before his scheduled court hearing, though UK authorities have yet to clarify the circumstances or conditions of his reported release.
