Regina Daniels' husband denies Chika Ike pregnancy

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that Ned Nwoko had denied the rumours linking him to Chika Ike's pregnancy.

In a statement released on Monday, February 17, 2025, the Nigerian politician dismissed the speculations that he was not expecting any child with Chika and was not readying to marry her.

Through his communications director, Ned Nwoko indicated that the speculation was "entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation."

"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."
