Ned Nwoko, Senator representing Delta North, has alleged that his wife, popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, is battling substance and alcohol addiction.
Gatekeepers News reports that the senator’s statement came shortly after a viral video surfaced on Saturday, showing a visibly emotional Daniels lamenting alleged domestic violence and mistreatment in her marriage.
Regina said tearfully in the footage, which has since generated widespread concern, “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my house, I am a queen. Not again, I cannot stand the violence, it is too much.”
Responding to the clip in a post on X, Nwoko denied being violent toward his wife, saying that her ongoing struggle with drug and alcohol abuse was the “root” of their marital crisis.
According to Nwoko, Daniels had recently relocated to an environment where she allegedly has unrestricted access to drugs, leading to erratic and aggressive behaviour. He accused her of assaulting domestic staff and destroying household property in recent days.
He wrote, “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. Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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. 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.”
