Ned Nwoko denies planning to marry, welcome child with actress Chika Ike
By Jeffrey Agbo
Politician and lawyer, Senator Ned Nwoko, has dismissed rumours suggesting that he is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife.
Speculation intensified after his wife, Regina Daniels, deactivated her Instagram account, leading to widespread rumour that Nwoko had welcomed a child with the actress.
Addressing the claims on his Instagram page on Monday, Nwoko described the reports as false and a product of malicious speculation. He urged media practitioners to verify information before publication and warned against the spread of false news.

A statement from the Director of Communications at the lawmaker’s office 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.”
