Politician and husband of actress Regina Daniels, Ned Nwoko, has refuted rumours suggesting that he has taken another wife.
In a statement shared on his Instagram page on Saturday, Nwoko dismissed the reports as “false” and “malicious,” clarifying that a circulating video was being distorted for social media clout.
“A video recently brought to my attention shows a young woman who visited with her team under the Peace Ambassadors initiative, led by Ambassador Dr. Adejo Sule, and it is now being circulated online with false claims attempting to affiliate me with her,” Nwoko wrote.
“It is unfortunate what social media has become, a space where moments are easily twisted for clout and misinformation. During the visit, photographs were taken with members of the delegation, as is customary whenever I receive guests.”
The Delta North senator described it as “mischievous and malicious” for anyone to exploit such gestures to spread false narratives, stressing that he has no personal relationship with the woman.
“Let me state clearly and unequivocally that the news being propagated around her visit is entirely false. I do not have any form of personal or private connection with her,” he added.
Nwoko further cautioned individuals and media outlets against promoting the rumour, warning that violators would face legal action.
“Any further propagation of this false narrative will attract appropriate legal action. The Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 remains in full force and applies to anyone involved in the deliberate spread of falsehood or defamation in cyberspace,” he said.
His statement follows a wave of controversy sparked by a viral video of Regina Daniels accusing him of domestic violence. In response, Nwoko alleged that the actress is struggling with drug and alcohol abuse.
