Nigerian dancer Poco Lee speaks publicly after his release from detention in the United Kingdom. In remarks made during a video call with social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), Lee says he did not commit the alleged offence and that his thoughts remain clear because he “did nothing wrong.” He also thanks people who supported him during the detention period and says he would have accepted the situation only if he had actually been responsible.
Lee comments on how people, particularly men, should handle relationships with women, urging them to “use 18 hours to fear women.” In explaining his feelings during the ordeal, he references receiving messages from others and says some people were only happy once something had happened. The outlets both report that he credits support from public figures, including Burna Boy and Rahman Jago, for standing by him.
While both sources cover the same core events—UK detention, release, and Lee’s statements about innocence and the “18 hours” remark—they present the story primarily through Lee’s perspective, without detailing the underlying allegations or the UK authorities’ case specifics.
