Ned Nwoko Denies Viral Photo Link To Woman Amid Ongoing Marital Drama
Senator Ned Nwoko has reacted to a viral photo and video showing him with a young woman, which fueled online rumors suggesting she was his new lover amid reports of trouble in his marriage to actress Regina Daniels.
The viral footage captured the senator beside the woman during what appeared to be an official visit, sparking widespread speculation and social media chatter.
In a public statement, Nwoko clarified that the woman was part of a delegation from the Peace Ambassadors Initiative led by Ambassador Dr. Adejo Sule, and that their meeting was purely formal.
He wrote:
“PUBLIC STATEMENT
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. 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. This is not unusual; even in public places or outdoor events, people often request to take pictures with me, and I oblige. It is therefore mischievous and malicious for anyone to exploit such gestures to fabricate false narratives.
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.
I strongly caution individuals, groups, or media outlets spreading this fabricated story to desist immediately. 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.”
Nwoko’s statement comes as speculation about his relationship with Regina Daniels continues to dominate headlines. His clarification appears intended to curb the rumors and emphasize that the viral image was taken during an official courtesy visit, not an intimate meeting.
