The Senator representing Delta North in the National Assembly, Senator Ned Nwoko, has disclosed details surrounding his strained relationship with his youngest wife and Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels.
In a statement released on Sunday through his official social media platforms, the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker attributed the tension between them to Regina’s alleged struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.
According to Nwoko, the recent incident that circulated online occurred in his absence, adding that none of his other wives had ever accused him of domestic violence.
“Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem,” he stated.
The lawmaker further revealed that the actress has been undergoing rehabilitation due to substance abuse, expressing concerns for her wellbeing if she fails to continue with the program.
“She must continue her rehabilitation program, or I fear for her life and safety. Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs,” Nwoko added.
Reiterating his innocence regarding any allegations of domestic violence, the senator accused Regina of exhibiting violent behavior toward household staff.
“I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence. Regina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting three staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause,” he alleged.
He also said he had given Regina the option of accepting rehabilitation either in Asokoro or abroad.
“The truth is, I have set a clear condition for her to accept rehab in Asokoro or outside Nigeria, especially Jordan, where she will not have access to drugs,” he explained.
Nwoko further alleged that during a recent health incident involving their son, Moon, Regina failed to act responsibly.
“A clear-headed Regina would have taken Moon to the hospital, but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse for exposing her drug abuse,” he said.
The senator claimed that while he took their son to the hospital, chaos erupted at home, allegedly instigated by individuals supplying drugs to Regina.
“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,” he claimed.
As of press time, Regina Daniels had not issued any public statement in response to the senator’s allegations.
