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.

Poco Lee was earlier reportedly granted bail on September 11, 2026, following his first appearance in court.
The dancer’s appearance has attracted significant attention among Nigerians in the UK, with a number of supporters present at the court on Tuesday.
The court gallery was reportedly filled to capacity, forcing some people to wait outside.
Poco Lee’s legal situation had earlier generated widespread discussion on social media following reports that he was in the custody of UK authorities over undisclosed allegations.
Videos also circulated online showing the entertainer speaking during a live session about his experience in the UK.
However, the UK court has confirmed that he is currently on bail pending the next stages of the case.
The February 8 hearing will now provide the next opportunity for the charges against Poco Lee to be formally addressed and for him to indicate his plea.
