Social media celebrity Peller claims that Nigerian dancer Poco Lee was freed in the UK after the woman who brought him to court apparently dropped the case.
When asked if Poco Lee had been freed, Peller asserted in a livestream.
“Yes o guys, Poco Lee is out. They talk say that girl that sue Poco Lee say the girl e run away from the case, say e leave the case. God go bless the girl, na God go bless am, is a good person,” Peller said.
He further claimed that the woman’s withdrawal from the case led to Poco Lee’s release.
“The girl that make Poco Lee go to prison, the girl comot the case, UK lawyer con leave Poco Lee,” he added.
According to earlier reports, Poco Lee is incarcerated in the UK on remand, with a plea hearing set for September.
The complaint came after the dancer was accused of sexual offences.
However, neither the UK court nor the prosecution authorities have independently verified Peller’s assertion that Poco Lee was released as a result of the complainant withdrawing the case.

Rapper Ms Jorji has accused Poco Lee of sexual misconduct during a 2024 encounter in Dallas, Texas.
The event comes after extensive media coverage of the performer’s alleged legal issues and arrest in the UK.
Recounting the alleged incident, Ms Jorji revealed that she had accepted an invitation to Poco Lee’s flat with a female friend and that she was seeking professional advice and mentoring for her music career.
According to her, the situation allegedly escalated when the entertainer made unwanted physical advances toward her before attempting similar advances on her friend and allegedly trying to force her into a separate room.
She stated that they managed to fight off the advances, immediately exited the premises, and drove several hours back to their destination that same night.
Addressing why she stayed silent for years, the rapper explained that fear and intimidation prevented her from coming forward, adding that she doubted the public would believe her testimony against a prominent entertainment figure.
“Two years ago, Pocolee tried to rape my friend and me; we ended up beating him and pushing him off,” she said.
She also said that asking for sex in exchange for a career is common in the music industry, claiming that other people in the business have done the same thing to her
