UK Court Adjourns Poco Lee’s Legal Case to 2027 With Plea Hearing Fixed for February

The ongoing legal case involving Nigerian dancer Poco Lee, has been adjourned by a United Kingdom court, pushing significant judicial proceedings into 2027.
Following court proceedings on Tuesday, September 15, UK-based social media commentator Benjamin Kuti, known as Oluomo of Derby, confirmed that the court set Poco Lee's plea hearing for February 8, 2027, while his full trial is scheduled to begin on March 8, 2027. The update comes after earlier reports indicated the entertainer would enter his plea during the scheduled September 15 session following his release on bail.

“I was in court today, as I mentioned in my last tweet, regarding the case involving one of our Nigerian brothers, Poco Lee... The plea hearing is scheduled for 8th February 2027, and the trial is scheduled to begin on 8th March 2027.”

Poco Lee is facing charges of sexual offenses filed at the Snaresbrook Crown Court in London following allegations stemming from his visit to the UK in August. Strict reporting restrictions remain enforced by British judicial authorities under the Sexual Offences Amendment Act 1992 to protect complainant anonymity while the legal process unfolds.
The entertainer, who recently maintained his innocence in public statements, continues to remain on bail while awaiting his formal plea hearing next year.
