Senator Ned Nwoko has finally spoken out following a viral video showing his wife, actress Regina Daniels, in distress describing her recent behaviour as “drug-induced” and “an unprovoked act of carnage.”
In a detailed statement and short video shared via his Instagram handle @princenednwoko on Sunday, Nwoko alleged that Regina was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse, which he claimed was the root cause of the ongoing crisis in their marriage.
“Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation programme, or I fear for her life and safety,” he wrote.
According to the senator, the actress allegedly went on a violent outburst in his absence, assaulting staff members and damaging property at their home.
“She slapped and hit three staff in the past 48 hours and destroyed property, including cars and windows, for no just cause. Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs,” he claimed.
Nwoko further stated that he had proposed two rehabilitation options for Regina one in Asokoro and another in Jordan “where she will not have access to drugs.”
He also accused some of Regina’s close associates of worsening the situation, describing them as her “drug suppliers.”
“While I took Moon to the hospital, chaos erupted at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” he alleged.
Nwoko’s post followed shortly after a viral video showed Regina Daniels in an emotional confrontation, shouting and expressing frustration. In the footage, she could be heard saying:
“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing. But in my own house, I am a Queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much.”
Reacting to the controversy, Regina’s brother, Ojeogwu Samuel Danhillman, popularly known as Sammy West, took to Instagram to accuse Nwoko of physically assaulting his sister and vowed to defend her.
“Anywhere wey man dey beat woman, whether na my sister or not, I go fight with my blood,” he wrote.
The exact cause of the altercation remains unclear, as Regina Daniels and her representatives have yet to issue an official statement in response to the senator’s claims.
Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko, who tied the knot in 2019, have long been subjects of public attention due to the 40-year age gap between them and their highly publicised marriage.
