Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has issued a formal statement condemning a coordinated campaign of online harassment, cyber-stalking, and criminal defamation against him by unidentified individuals.
Released on Thursday by his communications team, the statement described the recent surge of defamatory videos and publications as “calculated to create a false narrative of persecution to serve ulterior motives.”
Senator Nwoko emphasized that he remains focused on his legislative and developmental duties, rejecting any engagement with “online distractions or fabricated drama.” He also warned that attempts to exploit public sympathy to shield alleged wrongdoers undermine national values.
The statement reads:
“Our attention has been drawn to a renewed pattern of online harassment, cyber stalking, and coordinated defamatory videos and publications targeted at Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko. These actions appear calculated to create a false narrative of persecution in order to serve ulterior motives.

“Senator Ned is fully engaged in his legislative, developmental, and business responsibilities and maintains no interest whatsoever in online distractions or fabricated drama. However, when grave allegations are made, they must be addressed in accordance with the law, not through misinformation or emotional manipulation.
“We must caution the public that the growing culture of supporting deviant conduct, shielding wrongdoers, and attempting to weaponize public sympathy is damaging to our national values. Today, falsehood may be deployed against one individual; tomorrow, it may be directed at anyone.
“Accordingly, Senator Ned has instructed his lawyer to file a petition with the Inspector General of Police, Director General DSS, and the Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime Unit) to investigate and prosecute those responsible for ongoing cyber harassment and criminal defamation. The relevant digital footprints will be traced, and lawful action will be pursued.
“Furthermore, the United States Government and the United Kingdom are respectfully urged to note that attempts to stage artificial drama around a stable family structure for the purpose of gaining undue advantage are unacceptable. If any frivolous grounds are being put forward to seek asylum, such manoeuvres should be discountenanced. Authorities are encouraged to rely on verified facts and legal processes rather than sensationalized narratives designed to mislead.
“Nigerians are encouraged to disregard the false narratives being circulated and allow proper legal processes to proceed. The Senator remains focused on his work and continues to uphold dignity, responsibility, and due process.”
The statement signals that Senator Nwoko is pursuing legal avenues both domestically and internationally to address what he describes as a deliberate effort to damage his reputation online.
