The management and legal team of Nigerian dancer, Iweh Odinaka, aka Poco Lee, have said claims linking him to alleged drink spiking are not part of the allegations or charges before a court in the United Kingdom
The management made the clarification in a statement issued on Tuesday amid ongoing public discussions about the case involving the dancer.
A statement, signed by Adedoyin Faleye, on behalf of the management, and the team urged the public and media to refrain from commenting on details of the case, which is currently before the court.
“We are aware of the ongoing public discussion surrounding allegations made against our client, Poco Lee, currently before the courts in the United Kingdom.
“As this matter is now subject to legal proceedings, we urge the public, media, and all well-meaning individuals to exercise restraint in commenting on the details of the case. 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 are particularly concerned by the volume of unverified narratives currently circulating, including claims referencing “drink spiking,” amongst other allegations which do not form part any of the allegations or charges before the court,” the statement said.
It added, “Every individual is entitled to a fair hearing and to have their matter determined by due process of law, not by public opinion. We respectfully request that this right be respected in this instance, as it would be for anyone else.”
Poco Lee is due to appear before the court on September 15, 2026, for plea and trial preparation in relation to an assault charge.
