‘What Is December Without Poco Lee?’ - Saida Boj Urges Authorities to Release Him on Christmas Day

Media personality Saida Boj has sparked reactions online after making a playful appeal concerning Nigerian entertainer Poco Lee, who is currently facing an alleged sexual-assault case in the United Kingdom.

Saida, while reacting to the situation, called on authorities to release the dancer and singer on Christmas Day, joking about his absence during the festive period.

“I don’t care to know who arrested Poco Lee & where he was arrested but please, on the 25th of December please release Pocolee; he has alot of dancing to do, what is December without Pocolee, you can arrest him on the 25th of December & release him on the 2nd of January, he should not miss this December cuz it will do something to him”

Her statement has generated conversations online, particularly because it comes amid an ongoing legal matter involving the entertainer.

Saida Boj reportedly commented while discussing Poco Lee’s legal situation, suggesting that he should be allowed to return home for the Christmas celebration. Her remarks appeared to reference Poco Lee’s prominent presence during Nigeria’s famous “Detty December” festivities, when Nigerian entertainers typically have a packed schedule of concerts, events and parties.

For Saida, the idea of December without Poco Lee was apparently too difficult to imagine. The comment, however, has divided opinions, with some social media users finding the remark humorous while others questioned the appropriateness of joking about an ongoing sexual-assault case.

Poco Lee is currently involved in a legal case in the UK arising from an alleged sexual-assault matter. His management has previously addressed the controversy, urging members of the public not to treat allegations as facts and stressing the importance of allowing the legal process to run its course. The entertainer has not been convicted of the alleged offence, and the matter remains before the court. The case is reportedly scheduled for further proceedings at Snaresbrook Crown Court, where the legal process will continue.

Saida Boj’s comment has inevitably reignited discussions surrounding the case, with social media users offering different opinions. While some saw her statement as a light-hearted reference to Poco Lee’s role in Nigeria’s December entertainment scene, others argued that the seriousness of an allegation of sexual assault makes such jokes inappropriate.

For now, Poco Lee’s legal situation remains a matter for the courts, while Saida’s unusual Christmas appeal continues to generate reactions online.
