Pocolee Makes First Public Statement Following Release From Sexual Assault Case

Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee has opened up about his recent detention in the United Kingdom, maintaining that he did nothing wrong and revealing how the ordeal affected him.

Speaking during a video call with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), Poco Lee reflected on the experience and the support he received while he was detained over allegations of sexual offences.

“I was being myself, God sees my heart, my only worries out there was my people,” he said.

The dancer stressed that he would have accepted the consequences if he had actually committed the alleged offence. However, he insisted that he was innocent and had nothing to feel guilty about.

“If I to say I do wetin person talk, I for say, Omo I dey suffer for my sins, but as I no do anything, my mind is as pure,” he said.

Beyond discussing the ordeal, Poco Lee took a moment to appreciate those who stood by him, particularly music stars Burna Boy and Rahman Jago.

“Nobody will probably want to attach themselves with something like this, but for them Burna Boy to stand for me and Rahman Jago,” he said.

He also recalled receiving messages from people who appeared to be waiting for something negative to happen to him.

“Imagine I dey wake up dey see text messages like, Na only you dey this world, why you dey always happy? So I feel like most of them just happy now say something don happen,” he said.

And then came the warning.

Poco Lee urged men to be extra careful in their dealings with women, delivering his advice in his trademark blunt style.

“Use 18 hours fear women,” he said.

The dancer has since been released from detention, bringing an end to a tense period that attracted significant attention online.
