Ned Nwoko vows legal action against rising online harassment, criminal defamation
Senator Ned Nwoko (APC – Delta North) has threatened firm legal action against the growing wave of online harassment, cyberstalking, and criminal defamation allegedly targeted at him across social media platforms.
In a statement released on Thursday by his Communication Team in Abuja, the senator condemned what he described as a coordinated campaign of falsehood aimed at tarnishing his reputation.
“Our attention has been drawn to a renewed pattern of online harassment, defamatory videos, and publications targeted at Sen. Ned Nwoko. These actions appear calculated to create a false narrative for ulterior motives,” the statement said.
The team noted that Nwoko remains fully focused on his legislative, developmental, and business engagements, stressing that he has no interest in “online distractions or fabricated drama.” It added that grave allegations must be handled strictly through due process and not through “misinformation or emotional manipulation.”

Warning against the increasing culture of defending wrongdoing, the statement noted: “Today, falsehood may be deployed against one individual; tomorrow, it may be directed at anyone.”
To this end, Senator Nwoko has directed his legal team to file petitions with the Inspector General of Police, Director General of the DSS, and the Cybercrime Unit of the Nigeria Police for a full investigation and prosecution of those responsible for the alleged cyber harassment and criminal defamation. The team confirmed that all relevant digital footprints will be traced.
The statement also urged the United States and United Kingdom authorities to be cautious of attempts to create “artificial drama” around his family for the sake of gaining asylum, stressing that such manoeuvres should be rejected.
It called on Nigerians to disregard circulating false narratives, assuring that proper legal processes are underway.
“The senator remains focused on his duties and continues to uphold dignity, responsibility and due process,” the statement concluded.
