Nigerian dancer and entertainer, Iweh Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, is expected to appear before a United Kingdom court for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing (PTPH) in connection with an ongoing criminal case.
The entertainer is scheduled to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court as proceedings continue in the case.
Poco Lee was previously granted bail by the court, allowing him to remain out of custody while the case progresses.
The PTPH is an important stage in criminal proceedings where the court considers the defendant’s plea and addresses issues relating to the preparation of the case for trial.
The allegations against Poco Lee involve serious sexual offences. However, he has denied the allegations and has not been convicted of any offence.
The court is expected to consider the next steps in the proceedings during the hearing, including matters relating to the preparation and potential scheduling of a trial.
The case has attracted considerable attention in Nigeria, particularly within the entertainment industry, following reports of the allegations against the dancer.
Poco Lee remains entitled to the presumption of innocence unless and until proven guilty by a court of law.
The proceedings are ongoing.
