Billionaire politician and husband of actress Regina Daniels, Prince Ned Nwoko, has broken his silence after a viral video surfaced online linking him with a young woman.
In a public statement shared on his Instagram page, Ned Nwoko clarified that the woman in question had visited him as part of a team under the Peace Ambassadors initiative led by Ambassador Dr. Adejo Sule — not for any personal reason.
He explained that photos were taken during the visit, as is usually the case whenever he receives guests, but some people have now twisted the moment for clout.
“It is unfortunate what social media has become — a space where moments are easily twisted for clout and misinformation,” he wrote.
Nwoko went on to describe the claims as “mischievous and malicious,” stating clearly that he has no personal or private connection with the woman being circulated online.
He further warned individuals and media platforms spreading the story to stop immediately, adding that the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 is still in force and will be used against anyone found guilty of spreading falsehood.

“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”
