The 15 September hearing is expected to provide an opportunity for the defendant to enter a plea to the allegations.
Poco Lee is reportedly being held on remand in a UK prison. Benjamin Kuti, founder of the Community of Nigerians in the United Kingdom, confirmed that the entertainer is expected to appear in court at 10am on the scheduled date.
Kuti said he plans to attend the proceedings to support Poco Lee, while urging the public to allow the legal process to take its course.
