The controversy surrounding Nigerian dancer and hypeman Poco Lee has taken another turn after a woman identified as Ms. Jorji reportedly spoke about the case during a live broadcast.
During the livestream, Ms. Jorji claimed that several prominent Nigerians had reached out to her and appealed for leniency on Poco Lee’s behalf.
According to her, however, the requests have not changed her position.
She reportedly maintained that she intends to continue pursuing what she believes is justice and that she has no plans to take steps aimed at securing Poco Lee’s release.
Ms. Jorji also claimed that Poco Lee could face a lengthy prison sentence, mentioning a possible 10-year sentence. However, this should not be interpreted as confirmation that a court has actually imposed such a sentence.
She further alleged that the dancer had previously acted with confidence that his connections would protect him from serious consequences.
In her account, she suggested that Poco Lee believed the matter could be handled in the same way such disputes are sometimes dealt with in Nigeria.
Ms. Jorji contrasted that perception with the UK’s legal system, arguing that cases are handled through established legal procedures and that personal connections should not determine the outcome.
She also used the phrase “biting the hand that fed him” while describing her view of Poco Lee’s alleged actions, insisting that she believes he should be held accountable.
The comments have generated further discussion online, particularly because of the reported involvement of Nigerian personalities attempting to appeal on the dancer’s behalf.
Ms. Jorji said her response to those appeals had remained consistent: she would not reverse her position simply because influential people had contacted her.
She reportedly added that once she makes a decision and takes a position, she does not easily change her mind.
The latest comments come amid ongoing public interest in Poco Lee’s legal situation in the United Kingdom. Reports have previously stated that he is due to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 15, 2026, for plea and trial preparation in connection with an assault case.
It is important to distinguish between allegations, statements made by individuals involved in a dispute and actual court decisions. Poco Lee has not been confirmed as having received a 10-year prison sentence based on the information provided here.
Any eventual sentence would depend on the legal proceedings, evidence presented before the court and the court’s decision.
For now, Ms. Jorji’s latest comments have added another layer to a case that continues to attract significant attention among Nigerians both at home and in the United Kingdom.
