“I Know Him Very Well, He Can’t Do Such Things” — Tunde Perry Defends Poco Lee Amid Serious Allegations
As reports continue to swirl around Nigerian dancer and singer Poco Lee, fellow entertainer Tunde Perry has come out publicly in his defence, swearing to God that the allegations currently circulating against his friend simply aren’t true.
What Tunde Perry Said
In a video reacting directly to the story making rounds, Perry stated firmly that he swears to Almighty God the allegation against Poco Lee is not true, insisting that he knows him very well and that he simply isn’t capable of the things being alleged. It’s a strong, personal defence from someone who clearly considers Poco Lee a close friend within Nigeria’s tightly connected entertainment and streaming circles.
The Allegations Themselves Are Serious
We want to handle this part carefully and accurately, because the situation Tunde Perry is responding to involves serious, unverified claims. According to multiple reports circulating online, including coverage referencing Arise News and PM News Nigeria, Poco Lee whose full name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka has reportedly been arrested in the United Kingdom in connection with a sexual assault allegation. Key details, including the identity of the alleged victim, the specific circumstances involved, and whether any formal charges have actually been filed, remain unclear and have not been officially confirmed by UK law enforcement as of the latest reports.
Separately, a Texas-based rapper going by Ms Jorji has also come forward publicly with her own accusation, claiming that Poco Lee attempted to assault her and her girlfriend approximately two years ago, allegedly during a meeting where she had sought his guidance on breaking into the music industry. It’s important to note her claims, like the UK arrest reports, have not been independently verified or established by any court or law enforcement body at this stage.
Poco Lee himself has not issued any public statement addressing either the reported UK arrest or Ms Jorji’s allegations as of the most recent reporting.
Why Tunde Perry’s Reaction Matters To Fans
Tunde Perry and Poco Lee are both well-known figures within the same overlapping circle of Nigerian entertainers and streamers that includes names like Carter Efe, Rahman Jago, and others frequently seen together at events and livestreams. That closeness is likely part of why Perry felt compelled to speak out so strongly and personally, rather than staying silent the way many public figures often do when a friend becomes the subject of serious allegations.
Where Things Stand
At this stage, this remains very much a developing story. No court has ruled on any of the claims currently circulating, and Poco Lee has not addressed them publicly himself. Given the seriousness of the allegations involved, it’s worth treating everything currently online including both the accusations and the public defences of his character as unresolved until more verified information emerges from official sources.
Wahala Network Take
Friendship loyalty is understandable, and Tunde Perry clearly believes in the version of Poco Lee he personally knows. But given how serious these allegations are, and how much remains unconfirmed on all sides, this is exactly the kind of story where patience matters more than picking a side prematurely. We’ll continue to follow this and update as verified details come to light.
