Nigerian singer and dancer Poco Lee has reportedly been arrested in the United Kingdom over an allegation of rape, according to reports circulating online.

The report, which has sparked reactions across social media, claims the entertainer was arrested in connection with an alleged sexual offence in the UK.

However, details surrounding the reported arrest, including the identity of the alleged victim, the circumstances of the allegation and whether formal charges have been filed, remain unclear.

The claim has yet to be independently verified through an official statement from UK law enforcement authorities or a court.

Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, is a prominent Nigerian dancer and singer who rose to fame through his dance performances before establishing himself in the music industry.

He has collaborated with several leading Nigerian artistes and has built a significant following through his music, dance performances and social media presence.

The reported arrest comes amid growing attention to allegations involving public figures, with social media frequently becoming a source of breaking claims before details are officially confirmed.

Until further information is released by the relevant authorities, the allegation against Poco Lee remains a report and should not be treated as a proven criminal offence.

Further details are expected to emerge if UK authorities or legal representatives for the entertainer issue statements regarding the reported incident. (Arise News)
