Senator Ned Nwoko Takes Legal Action Over Online Defamation

Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, representing Delta North, has issued a stern warning to individuals he accuses of orchestrating a widespread campaign of online attacks against him. The lawmaker has threatened to pursue legal action, signaling a move to involve top security agencies in Nigeria.

Senator Alleges Coordinated Cyber Harassment

In a statement released by his communications team on Thursday, December 4, 2025, Senator Nwoko detailed what he described as a calculated pattern of cyber-stalking, harassment, and criminal defamation. He asserted that the recent surge in defamatory videos and online publications is deliberately crafted to fabricate a false narrative of persecution for hidden motives.

The Senator emphasized that his primary focus remains on his legislative duties, development projects, and business responsibilities, dismissing the online activity as fabricated distractions. He expressed concern over the manipulation of public sentiment, warning that using sympathy to shield alleged misconduct poses a significant risk to societal values.

Legal Petitions Filed with Security Chiefs

Senator Nwoko has now directed his legal representatives to formally petition the Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), and the National Cyber Crime Unit. The petitions urge a comprehensive investigation and subsequent prosecution of all parties involved in the alleged defamation campaign.

The statement made it clear that digital footprints would be meticulously traced to identify the perpetrators. It also called on U.S. and U.K. authorities to be vigilant against any attempts to create artificial family drama for the purpose of gaining asylum or other improper advantages.

A Call for Public Discretion and Due Process

The public has been advised to disregard the circulating narratives until proper legal channels have concluded their processes. The Senator's team reiterated his commitment to upholding principles of dignity, responsibility, and due process in addressing the matter.

This development highlights the growing intersection of politics, law, and digital media in Nigeria, where public figures are increasingly taking a stand against online character assassination.
