Nigerian politician and businessman, Prince Ned Nwoko, has dismissed rumors suggesting that he is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife. The speculation gained traction after his wife, Regina Daniels, deactivated her Instagram account, leading to assumptions that her husband had welcomed a child with the actress.
In response to the claims, Nwoko released a statement through the Director of Communications, Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, describing the reports as completely false. He made it clear that the rumors were based on unfounded speculation and had no truth to them.
“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,” the statement read.
The businessman, who is also a senator, noted that it is common for public figures to be targeted with fabricated stories, especially given that his wife, Regina Daniels, is also an actress. He added that similar false reports had been circulated, including claims that he made statements about popular musician Tuface Idibia and polygamy, which he also denied.
He further stated that he is currently focused on his political responsibilities 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 concluded.
