Poco Lee reportedly assaulted by Police in Lagos
Dancer/Hypeman, Poco Lee was embroiled in an argument with members of the Nigeria Police Force.
The hype man was driving his Mercedes Benz late at night when he was stopped by a squad of police officers in Lagos state, causing a disturbance.
Poco Lee was attempting to reason with the armed security personnel, but they did not seem to be listening to him, as seen in a video that has gone viral online.
According to reports, the incident occurred more than a day ago, and the celebrity hype man appeared to be travelling with several companions.
Though it is not clear what led to the encounter, a part of the clip showed the officers man-handling Poco Lee as he was about to go back to his car and his friends came to his defence.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, Chike posted a video of his meeting with a policeman at a checkpoint in Lagos state, where he managed to outwit the officer.
The performer was travelling from an unknown area at night when he came to a police checkpoint and was ordered to stop, but he did not give them the opportunity to demand money.
Chike rolled down his window and requested the officer to give him anything right away, but the policeman claimed that because Chike is a celebrity, he should be the one to share the money.
The ‘Watching Over Me‘ singer requested that the security guard give him money so that he could show Nigerians that the police can also be generous.
Seeing as he had been pinned down, the police officer then handed Chike N100 and said it is the little he had.
However, the singer returned the money and they laughed over the exchange before he continued his journey.
