Popular Nigerian singer and dancer, Iweh Pascal Odinaka, professionally known as Poco Lee, has broken his silence on allegations circulating on social media that he sexually assaulted a woman in the United Kingdom.
Reacting to the allegations, his management, in a statement issued on Tuesday, August 25, confirmed that the matter is currently before a UK court and urged the public to allow the legal process to take its course.
The statement read: “Allegations are not evidence of guilt, and no conclusions should be drawn until the matter has been heard and determined through the appropriate legal process.
“We ask the public and media to desist from introducing details that are not part of the actual case, as doing so only fuels misinformation and causes unfair prejudice to all parties involved.”
For those who don’t know, Poco Lee was reportedly arrested in the UK on August 19 over an alleged sexual assault. However, British authorities have not publicly revealed the identity of the alleged victim or details of the case.
Meanwhile, Texas-based Nigerian rapper, Ms Jorji had accused Poco Lee of sexual assault in videos shared online. She alleged that the dancer attempted to sexually assault her and her girlfriend about two years ago during a visit to his home in Dallas.
