Nigerian socialite and media personality Rahman Jago has appealed for support for dancer and entertainer Poco Lee following reports that his friend is facing a legal case in the United Kingdom.
Jago, whose real name is Tiamiu Abdulrahman Kayode, expressed concern over Poco Lee’s situation in a post on X, describing the development as painful and urging the public not to exploit the matter for social-media attention.
“Seeing my brother go through such a serious and painful situation is heartbreaking. I know the person he is, and I truly believe there is more to this situation than what people may have heard,” Jago wrote.
He added that Poco Lee was known among his friends and associates as someone who brought joy to others.
“This is not the time to chase clout, we all know Poco to be a joy giver and this is when he needs us the most. May we never be in situation where only God is our witness,” he said.
Jago’s intervention comes amid reports that Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Odinaka, is being held on remand in the UK over an alleged assault offence. Reports indicate that he is expected to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court in London in September.
The development has generated reactions from colleagues and fans, with some calling for support while others have urged the public to avoid reaching conclusions before the legal process is completed.
The matter is significant because social media has become a major platform for public discussion of celebrity-related legal cases. Statements from friends and supporters can influence public perception, making calls for restraint and due process particularly relevant.
UK authorities have previously indicated that they cannot disclose details about individual cases in certain circumstances, while the court process remains ongoing.
Poco Lee is widely known in Nigeria’s entertainment industry for his work as a dancer and performer, collaborating with several prominent artistes and appearing in music and entertainment projects.
As the legal proceedings continue, the case remains subject to the determination of the UK courts. Jago’s comments underline the importance of allowing the judicial process to take its course while offering personal support to someone facing a difficult period.
