Poco Lee Breaks Silence: Nigerian Star Returns to Instagram After UK Arrest and Bail

 

Nigerian dancer and social media influencer Poco Lee has made his first public appearance on Instagram since his arrest in the United Kingdom earlier this year.

According to reports, the celebrity was arrested and remanded in August 2026 in connection with alleged sexual offences. He faced five charges, including two counts of assault by penetration, one count of attempted rape and two counts of rape. He was released on bail in September 2026 and had remained out of the public eye until now.

On Thursday, Poco Lee shared a series of new photos on Instagram with the simple caption “ODINAKA.” In the accompanying audio, he addressed fans in Yoruba, saying “E ma binu pe mi si ni online oo” — roughly translating to a plea for understanding over his prolonged absence from social media.

The post quickly drew warm reactions from several Nigerian celebrities. Among those who commented to welcome him back were Zlatan, Israel DMW, Lanre Alewilese, Phyno, Yhemo Lee, Cubana Chief Priest, Cute Abiola, Destiny Etiko, Kiekie, MC Edopikin, Kemity and Jigan.

Poco Lee’s return marks his first visible activity online since the legal proceedings began. Further details about the case have not been publicly disclosed.
