Senator Ned Nwoko has publicly addressed the viral video showing his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, in visible distress, alleging that the actress is battling drug and alcohol addiction — a problem he claims lies at the heart of their marital troubles.
In a detailed statement and accompanying short video posted on his verified Instagram handle, @princenednwoko, on Sunday, the lawmaker said:
“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.”
Nwoko alleged that Regina went on a violent rampage at their Abuja home during his absence, assaulting staff and damaging property.
“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,” the senator claimed.
The lawmaker, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, said he had offered his wife two options for rehabilitation — one in Asokoro, Abuja, and another in Jordan, where she would have limited access to drugs.
He also accused some of Regina’s close associates of enabling her alleged addiction, describing them as “drug suppliers.”
“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” Nwoko wrote.
His remarks followed the circulation of a viral video on Saturday showing Regina Daniels visibly upset and shouting during a confrontation. In the clip, 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.”
The video sparked widespread concern and speculation on social media, prompting responses from family members and fans alike.
Her brother, Ojeogwu Samuel Danhillman, popularly known as Sammy West, reacted strongly to Nwoko’s post, accusing the senator of physically assaulting the actress.
“Anywhere wey man dey beat woman, whether na my sister or not, I go fight with my blood,” he wrote on Instagram.
As of press time, Regina Daniels and her representatives have not publicly responded to the senator’s allegations.
The actress, who married Ned Nwoko in 2019, has often been in the spotlight due to their 40-year age difference and her transition from Nollywood stardom to political and social engagements alongside her husband.
The latest development has stirred intense public debate, with many calling for restraint and privacy as the couple navigates their domestic crisis.
