Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee’s plea hearing in the United Kingdom has been fixed for February 8, 2027, while his trial is scheduled to commence on March 8, 2027.
Benjamin Kuti, popularly known as Oluomo of Derby, disclosed the new dates after attending court proceedings on Tuesday.
“I was in court today, as I mentioned in my last tweet, regarding the case involving one of our Nigerian brothers, Poco Lee,” Kuti stated.
DAILY POST earlier reported on August 24 that Kuti confirmed Poco Lee was on remand in a UK prison and was expected to appear in court in September for a plea hearing. The schedule has since been updated.
Kuti urged members of the public to allow the legal process to take its full course and refrain from passing judgment based on allegations or information circulating publicly.
“Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and that principle must be respected throughout the entire process,” he said.
