Nigerian entertainers travelling to the United Kingdom have been advised to exercise greater caution following the remand of popular dancer and hypeman, Iweh Odinaka, better known as Poco Lee, over alleged sexual offences.
Poco Lee remains in custody in the UK after Snaresbrook Crown Court in London confirmed that he faces one count of attempted rape, two counts of rape and two counts of assault by penetration.
The case has been scheduled for a plea and trial preparation hearing on September 15, 2026, while a reporting restriction has been imposed to protect the anonymity of the complainant.
Poco Lee travelled to the UK to attend the Davido and Friends event at Crystal Palace Bowl on August 14.
His management has maintained that the allegations do not constitute proof of guilt and urged the public and media to allow the legal process to run its course.
The management also dismissed circulating claims that the case involved drink-spiking, saying such claims were unrelated to the charges currently before the court.
The development has sparked reactions within the Nigerian entertainment industry, with some celebrities and their associates highlighting the need for greater caution when interacting with people while abroad.
Singer Koko Pee, whose real name is Okokowa Jerry, attracted attention after unveiling what he described as “intention forms” and “consent forms” in a video shared online.
Koko Pee, who is preparing for a show in the UK, said the documents were designed to establish that any woman who chose to engage with him had done so voluntarily, while emphasising the importance of consent.
The forms reportedly request personal information and contain declarations relating to voluntary and sober consent.
Although the singer presented the initiative humorously, it has drawn attention to concerns among some Nigerian entertainers about relationships, consent and legal boundaries while travelling abroad.
Streamer and content creator Carter Efe has also been warned by fans following videos of him socialising with women in London.
The videos, shared by accounts on X, prompted some social media users to reference Poco Lee’s case and advise Carter Efe to exercise caution.
One user, @Asian_500, wrote, “London women again? We are yet to settle the first matter. Carter, be very careful ooo, I don’t want to hear the story that touching the heart tomorrow.”
Another user, @Mrtwizjohn, said, “You’d be better off taking a leaf out of Poco Lee’s book! I like your crazy side too, but I don’t want to see you end up in jail.”
Other users also cautioned the content creator against conduct that could expose him to legal complications.
Controversial singer Portable, who is also currently in the UK, has similarly been advised by fans to exercise caution in his interactions with female admirers.
The reactions underscore the growing awareness among Nigerian entertainers about consent, personal conduct and potential legal consequences while working or socialising in the UK.
With Poco Lee’s next court hearing scheduled for September 15, his case continues to generate discussion within Nigeria’s entertainment industry, with several personalities responding through public warnings, humour and calls for greater caution.
