Nigerian dancer and entertainer Iweh Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, appeared before Snaresbrook Crown Court in London on Tuesday over five sexual offence charges. His plea hearing could not proceed because the charge sheet was unavailable.
The court has now fixed Feb. 8, 2027, for a new pre-trial hearing and scheduled the trial to begin on March 8, 2027. The charges comprise two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration.
The alleged offences were said to have occurred in Tower Hamlets, east London, on July 23, 2026. Odinaka has denied the allegations and maintained that he is innocent.
The development follows his being granted bail on Sept. 11 ahead of the Sept. 15 court appearance. The case remains before the UK court.
