Regina’s brother reacts after Ned Nwoko denies impregnating popular actress

Regina Daniels’ brother, Lawrence Daniels, has reacted to the ongoing controversy surrounding his billionaire in-law, Ned Nwoko, and Nollywood actress Chika Ike.

This comes after Nwoko publicly denied claims that he had impregnated the actress and was planning to make her his seventh wife.

The speculation began after controversial blogger Gistlover alleged that Nwoko was the father of Chika Ike’s unborn child and that he intended to marry her. The rumors gained traction online, especially after Regina Daniels deactivated her Instagram account, fueling further speculation.

However, in an official statement released on Monday, February 17, Nwoko’s Director of Communications dismissed the allegations as baseless. The statement read:

“Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumors 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. 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. 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 rumors and rely only on official statements from his office.”

Following Nwoko’s denial, Lawrence Daniels took to the comment section to mock Gistlover, writing:

“Una don break Gistlover face, what’s this nau? ”

Meanwhile, speculation continues over why Regina Daniels deactivated her Instagram account amid the controversy.
