Senator Ned Nwoko has denied rumours that he has married Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife or fathered a child with her.
On Monday, social media was filled with reports claiming that Chika Ike had given birth to Nwoko’s child.
Shortly after, a statement was posted on Nwoko’s Instagram page, calling the claims “false and malicious.”
However, some people believe that his wife, Regina Daniels, was the one who made the post. They pointed out that the Instagram post mainly featured her pictures with Nwoko, even though he has other wives. This has led to speculation that she controls the account.
The statement also denied reports that Nwoko made comments about singer 2Baba and polygamy. It described such stories as false and the work of bloggers looking for attention.
The statement read:
“OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS
“Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumors alleging that Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant for him. We categorically state that these claims are entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation.
“Similarly, reports claiming he made statements about Tuface and polygamy are completely untrue. As a public figure and with his wife also being an actress, it is not unusual for bloggers seeking attention to fabricate such stories.
“However, Senator Nwoko is currently on a national assignment, focused on delivering on his political mandate, and has no time for distractions. This office remains available to journalists for verification of information, and we remind media practitioners of the consequences of spreading fake news. The public is advised to disregard these rumors and rely only on official statements from his office.
Signed
Director of Communications
Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko.”
