Nigerian dancer and hypeman, Iweh Odinaka, aka, Poco Lee, has opened up for the first time since he was accused of sexual offences in the United Kingdom, insisting that he is innocent and that his “mind is pure.”
Poco Lee disclosed this during a video call with social media activist, VeryDarkMan late Sunday, where he reflected on the support he received from friends and associates while dealing with the allegations.
During the live session, Poco Lee did not directly confirm his release but reiterated that he did not commit the sexual offence.
The dancer added that music star Burna Boy would not have supported him if he were guilty.
“I feel like they want me to be like I am posting something. You know, as Nigeria is. They want to see another thing. It is when you are now paying attention that raises another thing,” he spoke in pidgin English.
“I was just being myself. My only worry out there was my people, like Jago. He could not do anything business-wise or on social media. I am not a small child to start begging them. They would even frown at such an apology.
“If I did what someone said I did, I would say I am suffering my sins. As I did not do anything, my mind is as pure as anything. No one would want to attach themselves to something like that. And for Burna Boy and Jago to stand for me.
“I am a jolly good fellow. Even when I did not do anything.”
In August, the Snaresbrook Crown Court in the UK confirmed that Poco Lee faces charges of attempted rape, two counts of rape, and two counts of assault by penetration.
James Baker, the court’s admin team lead, stated that the case was scheduled for plea and trial preparation on September 15.
