Senator Ned Nwoko has accused his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, of drug and alcohol abuse, following a viral video in which she tearfully alleged domestic violence in their marriage.
In the emotional clip that sparked widespread concern online, Regina said:
“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.”
Reacting to the allegations, Senator Nwoko issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter) titled “REGINA’S UNPROVOKED CARNAGE AND RAMPAGE IN MY HOUSE AND IN MY ABSENCE,” where he denied ever assaulting her and instead blamed her alleged behavior on substance abuse.
“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 program, or I fear for her life and safety,” he wrote.
The Delta North senator claimed that Regina had recently turned violent towards members of his household.
“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,” Nwoko alleged.
He further stated that he had offered to send her for rehabilitation either in Asokoro or abroad, particularly Jordan, to limit her access to drugs.
Nwoko also accused two individuals, he identified as Sammy and Ann, of supplying Regina with drugs, claiming they were behind a recent disturbance at his residence while he took their son, Moon, to the hospital.
“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 continued.
“A clear headed regina would have taken moon to the hospital but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse(for exposing her drugs 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.”
