Ned Nwoko has denied impregnating Nollywood Actress Chika Ike.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that billionaire politician, Senator Ned Nwoko, has addressed social media rumours that he impregnated Nollywood actress Chika Ike and intended to make her his seventh wife.
This Nigeria news platform understands that social media was flooded with unconfirmed reports alleging that Chika Ike had welcomed a baby for the Delta North Senator.
It was also noticed that the Instagram handle of his youngest wife and Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has been deactivated amid the rumours of a new wife by her husband.
However, in an official statement released via Nwoko’s Instagram page on Mondwy, his director of communications debunked the claims, dismissing them as “false and malicious.”
Nwoko also dismissed allegations that he commented about singer 2Baba and polygamy.
The statement pointed out that as a public figure and husband to an actress, such rumours were not unusual but were the work of bloggers seeking attention.
The statement which was titled, ‘OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS’ read, “Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumours 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.”
