Senator Ned Nwoko has strongly dismissed circulating rumors suggesting that he has taken Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and fathered a child with her.
On Monday, social media was abuzz with unverified reports alleging that the billionaire politician had secretly married the actress and that she had recently given birth to his child. The claims quickly gained traction, sparking widespread speculation.
However, in an official statement released via Nwoko’s Instagram page, his Director of Communications debunked the rumors, describing them as “false and malicious.”
Ned Nwoko Debunks Marriage and Paternity Rumors
The statement firmly denied the allegations, clarifying that they were entirely baseless and a product of speculation by bloggers seeking attention. It also refuted claims that Nwoko had made comments regarding music icon 2Baba and polygamy.
The official statement read:
“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.”**
The statement was signed by the Director of Communications, Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko.
Public Reactions and Media Responsibility
The clarification comes amid ongoing public interest in Nwoko’s personal life, particularly due to his marriage to actress Regina Daniels. While rumors involving public figures are common, the senator’s team has urged the public to be cautious about misinformation and to rely on verified sources for credible news.
As of now, neither Chika Ike nor her representatives have made any public statements regarding the matter.
This latest controversy highlights the growing concerns over the spread of false information on social media and the responsibility of bloggers and media outlets in ensuring ethical reporting.
