The senator representing the Delta North senatorial district, Ned Nwoko has debunked claims that he plans to marry Nollywood actor, Chika Ike and the father of her unborn child.

Earlier in the day, Regina Daniels, wife of Nwoko deactivated her Instagram account to further fuel speculations over a rift in the home.

However, in a rebuttal statement from the Director of Communications, Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, he said ?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 accused bloggers of fabricating statements regarding his support for Tuface to marry Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawuru.

?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.

Amid the controversy, Chika Ike has yet to comment on the matter.

?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 rumours and relies only on official statements from his office.? (Channels TV: Text, Excluding Headline)
