Senator Ned Nwoko has dismissed widespread claims that he is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike and that he is the father of her unborn child.
Speculations about a possible marital crisis escalated after his wife, Regina Daniels, deactivated her Instagram account, fueling further rumors. However, in a statement released by his Director of Communications, Nwoko denied the allegations, saying:
“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.”

The senator also addressed another rumor that alleged he had made comments about Tuface Idibia’s supposed plans to marry Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawuru. He denied any involvement, stating:
“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.”
Despite the growing controversy, Chika Ike has not commented on the matter.
Nwoko’s office emphasized that he remains committed to his political responsibilities, stating:
“However, Senator Nwoko is currently on a national assignment, focused on delivering on his political mandate, and has no time for distractions.”
The statement further warned against the spread of false information, urging journalists to verify their reports before publication.
“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 rumours and rely only on official statements from his office.”
