Popular Nigerian billionaire and politician Ned Nwoko has responded to allegations of impregnating actress Chika Ike, a colleague of his wife, Regina Daniels.

The Nigerian Voice recalls that Regina Daniels recently deactivated her Instagram account. Reports suggest that Chika Ike, who recently shared maternity photos announcing her second pregnancy, has allegedly welcomed a child for Ned Nwoko. It is also speculated that Chika Ike may be poised to take Regina's place in Ned's mansion.

Addressing the rumors through an official statement from his media team, Ned Nwoko stated that his attention had been drawn to the false rumors alleging that he is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant with his child.

According to him, these claims are entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation.

Furthermore, he emphasized that reports claiming he made statements about Tuface and polygamy are completely untrue.

He also noted that it is not uncommon for bloggers to fabricate stories to drive false narratives and create controversies on social media.

The media team revealed that Ned Nwoko is currently on a national assignment, focused on delivering his political mandate, and has no time for distractions.
