Nigerian billionaire and lawmaker, Senator Ned Nwoko, has denied reports linking him to Nollywood actress Chika Ike, dismissing claims that he plans to marry her or is responsible for her pregnancy.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that recent social media speculation suggested that Chika Ike, who recently announced the birth of her baby with maternity photos on Instagram, was set to move into Nwoko’s home. The rumors intensified after his wife, Regina Daniels, deactivated her Instagram account.
However, in a statement issued on Monday through his Director of Communications, Nwoko described the allegations as completely false and a product of malicious speculation.
He urged the public to disregard the rumors and warned media practitioners about the consequences of spreading false information.
The 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.”
