Ned Nwoko attributes marital crisis with Regina Daniels to drug, alcohol abuse
Senator Ned Nwoko has blamed the recent tension in his marriage to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels on what he described as her ongoing battle with drug and alcohol abuse.
His reaction followed the circulation of a viral video in which Regina Daniels appeared distressed, alleging domestic violence in their marriage. In the footage, the actress was 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, which sparked widespread concern and drew an emotional response from her brother on social media, prompted Nwoko to issue a public statement on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, denying allegations of domestic 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,” the senator wrote.
Nwoko claimed that his attempts to get his wife professional help had been resisted, adding that he had suggested rehabilitation in Asokoro or abroad, particularly in Jordan, where she would not have access to drugs.
He further alleged that the actress had recently exhibited violent behaviour, assaulting three domestic staff members and damaging property. “She is the violent one here, slapping and hitting staff in the past 48 hours and destroying cars and windows for no just cause,” he stated.
The lawmaker also accused certain individuals of supplying the actress with drugs, naming two alleged accomplices. “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 alleged.
Nwoko maintained that he had never been violent toward any of his wives, insisting that his only concern was Regina’s wellbeing. “I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence,” he said.
