Nigerian dancer Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, has been released after spending several weeks in detention in the United Kingdom over an alleged sexual assault case.
Poco Lee’s release comes weeks after news surfaced that he had been arrested in the UK in connection with a sexual assault charge.
His management had previously acknowledged that the case was being heard in a UK court, urging the public to wait for the legal process to be completed.
The management further warned against treating the allegations as true, emphasizing that the entertainer had not been convicted of any crime.
The team also denied stories relating the case to alleged drink-spiking, stating that such assertions were not included in the complaints before the court.
However, a tweet on social media suggests that the dancer has been released.
A netizen on Instagram with the username lifedramar posted, “Freedom at last! No one is guilty until proven. Congratulations to Poco Lee and the entire team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make his release possible. And I also want to say this; celebrities and public figures can easily become targets, so please stay safe out there, guys.
“Be careful who you trust, where you go, and the people you surround yourself with. Fame comes with its own risks, so always stay alert and protect yourself. Welcome back to freedom!”
