Ned Nwoko Speaks On Taking Another Wife

Senator Ned Nwoko has dismissed rumours claiming he has taken another wife, following the circulation of a viral video showing him with a young woman.

In a statement shared on his official Instagram page, the Delta North senator described the reports as “false” and “mischievous.”

“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 said. “It is unfortunate what social media has become, a space where moments are easily twisted for clout and misinformation.”

He explained that the meeting was purely official and that the photos taken during the visit were being misinterpreted.

“During the visit, photographs were taken with members of the delegation, as is customary whenever I receive guests,” he said. “It is therefore mischievous and malicious for anyone to exploit such gestures to fabricate false narratives.”

Nwoko also clarified that he has no personal relationship with the woman in question and warned those spreading the rumour to stop or face legal action.

“I strongly caution individuals, groups, or media outlets spreading this fabricated story to desist immediately,” he warned. “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.”

The clarification comes amid social media speculation about the lawmaker’s marriage to actress Regina Daniels, with some users suggesting he had secretly married another woman.
