Nigerian dancer and singer Iweh Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, is facing an unverified report of an alleged arrest in the United Kingdom over a sexual offence.
The claim surfaced on Tuesday and gained traction on Wednesday, August 19, 2026. However, no UK police authority, court or prosecuting agency had confirmed the reported arrest or any charge against him as of the time of filing this report.
Details of the alleged UK case, including the identity of the complainant, remain unclear.
Amid the reports, US-based Nigerian artiste Ms Jorji made a separate allegation against Poco Lee in videos posted on Instagram on August 18.
Jorji said she and a female friend visited Poco Lee at his Dallas, Texas, apartment in 2024 while she was seeking advice about pursuing a music career. She said her friend knew the entertainer from their school days in Nigeria.

According to Jorji, Poco Lee allegedly made unwanted sexual advances towards her despite knowing she was married. She claimed that when she resisted, he allegedly turned his attention to her friend, prompting both women to fight him off before leaving.
Jorji said they did not report the incident to police at the time, describing what she alleged occurred as an attempted assault.
She said she decided to recount the incident publicly after seeing reports of Poco Lee’s purported UK arrest. She also alleged that she confronted him at a music event about two years ago over the incident.
Jorji’s allegations have not been independently substantiated, and there is no verified evidence linking her Dallas account to the reported UK case.
Poco Lee had not publicly responded to the allegations or arrest report as of August 19.
The reported arrest therefore remains unconfirmed, while the allegations against the entertainer remain claims pending independent verification or due legal process.
