Poco Lee’s UK plea hearing fixed for February, trial set for March 2027

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 begin on March 8, 2027.

Benjamin Kuti, popularly known as Oluomo of Derby, disclosed this 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 said.

DAILY POST had 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.

Kuti has now said the plea hearing will hold on February 8, 2027, with the trial scheduled to commence on March 8.

He urged the public to allow the legal process to run its course and avoid 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.
