Nigerian social media personality Saida Boj has made a light-hearted appeal concerning dancer and hypeman Poco Lee, urging those holding him to ensure he is released in time for the Christmas season.
In a social media message, Saida Boj said she was less concerned about where Poco Lee was arrested or the circumstances surrounding his arrest. Instead, she focused on the dancer’s reputation for bringing energy and entertainment to the festive season.
She joked that Poco Lee should not spend Christmas behind bars because, in her view, December would not feel the same without his dancing.
Saida Boj suggested that if Poco Lee must remain in custody, he could be released on December 25 and returned on January 2, allowing him to participate in the Christmas celebrations before resuming his legal situation afterward.
Her comments quickly attracted attention because of the unusual nature of the request, particularly as Poco Lee is facing a legal matter in the United Kingdom.
The statement comes amid ongoing public interest in the dancer’s situation following reports that he is expected to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court in London on September 15, 2026, for plea and trial preparation in connection with an assault case.
Saida Boj’s comments appeared to take a humorous approach to the situation, focusing on Poco Lee’s importance to Nigeria’s festive entertainment culture rather than discussing the details of the legal proceedings.
Poco Lee has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most recognisable dancers and hypemen. His energetic performances have made him a familiar face at concerts, parties and major entertainment events, particularly during the December holiday period.
For many Nigerian entertainers and fans, December is one of the busiest periods of the year, with concerts, parties and shows taking place across the country and in the diaspora.
That cultural connection appears to be what inspired Saida Boj’s plea.
Her remarks have since generated reactions online, with some social media users laughing at the suggestion while others pointed out that criminal proceedings are governed by the court and cannot simply be paused because of the festive season.
The comments also demonstrate the strong public interest surrounding Poco Lee, whose absence during the holiday period would undoubtedly be noticed by fans accustomed to seeing him perform during the season.
While Saida Boj’s request was delivered humorously, Poco Lee’s legal situation remains a serious matter that will ultimately be determined through the appropriate judicial process.
For now, her message has added another unusual twist to the ongoing conversation surrounding the popular dancer.
