Dancer and entertainer, Iweh Pascal Odinaka, popularly known as Poco Lee, will now appear before a United Kingdom court in February 2027 for a pre-trial hearing after his scheduled appearance on Tuesday was unable to proceed.
According to BBC, Poco Lee was expected to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, for a plea and trial preparation hearing over charges against him.
However, the hearing could not proceed because the charge sheet was unavailable, meaning the entertainer did not enter a plea.
The court has now fixed February 8, 2027, for the pre-trial hearing, when Poco Lee is expected to enter his plea.
His trial has also been scheduled to begin on March 8, 2027.
