Poco Lee Case: What We Know About His September 15 London Court Appearance

The case involving Nigerian dancer Poco Lee is scheduled to return before a London court on September 15, 2026.

Snaresbrook Crown Court has confirmed that the matter is officially listed for plea and trial preparation.

What has the court confirmed?

The court has confirmed that Poco Lee’s case is listed at Snaresbrook Crown Court for September 15.

The court’s administration has not yet released the precise time or courtroom, saying those details would only become available shortly before the hearing.

Who is Poco Lee?

Poco Lee is the professional name of Iweh Pascal Odinaka, a Nigerian dancer and hypeman who became widely known through performances, music videos and collaborations with Nigerian entertainers.

His public profile has made the court case a major talking point across Nigerian entertainment circles.

What is the case about?

Reports have described the proceedings as relating to alleged assault. Some reports have published more specific allegations, but those details have not been independently established in the court confirmation available publicly.

For that reason, the allegations should not be treated as proven facts.

The court’s confirmed position is that the matter is listed for plea and trial preparation.

What happens next?

The September 15 hearing will be an important stage in the proceedings.

A plea hearing generally provides an opportunity for a defendant to indicate whether they plead guilty or not guilty, although the precise procedure will depend on the charges and the court’s directions.

Reports that Poco Lee is being held on remand have also circulated, with Nigerian community representative Benjamin Kuti previously saying he was in a UK prison.

The court has now independently confirmed the September 15 listing.

Poco Lee remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
