Drug addiction, domestic violence allegations take centre stage in Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko’s marriage saga

Popular Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels’ marriage with Senator Ned Nwoko appears to have become a public spectacle when a viral video of the mother of two alleged the husband abuses her.

In the said video, the fair-skinned lady alleged that Nwoko sent his thugs to beat her up.

Regina Daniels could be seen in the video in a tense atmosphere, shouting at the top of her voice over the attack she allegedly suffered.

In an attempt to pacify her, she was made to sit on the ground while water was poured on her head.

She said: “Ned sent thugs, in Ned Nwoko’s house I’m nothing but in my house I’m a queen. What again, I can’t stand the violence it’s too much.”

Public opinion

Following the video which went viral on Saturday, October 18, reactions flooded social media with many users and celebrities expressing concern, outrage, disbelief, and mockery, while others called for an investigation into the disturbing claims.

Regina’s brother, Samuel Daniels also took to Instagram to confirm the alleged assault, accusing the senator of beating his sister and smashing her head against a wall before she fled the scene.

Ned Nwoko reacts

In a twist of events, Senator Ned Nwoko accused his actress wife, Regina Daniels, of engaging in drug and alcohol abuse, alleging that her actions have led to violence and destruction in their home.

The lawmaker made the claims in a Facebook post on Sunday, October 19, titled “REGINA’S UNPROVOKED CARNAGE AND RAMPAGE IN MY HOUSE AND IN MY ABSENCE.”

According to Nwoko, Regina’s alleged struggle with substance abuse is the root of their marital problems.

He stated that she must continue her rehabilitation programme either in Asokoro or abroad, particularly in Jordan, where he believes she would not have access to drugs.

The senator expressed fear for her safety if she failed to continue treatment, saying her current environment allows “unrestricted access to drugs.”

Nwoko further alleged that Regina had recently assaulted three members of his staff and destroyed property, including vehicles and windows, without provocation.

The post reads: “REGINA’S UNPROVOKED CARNAGE AND RAMPAGE IN MY HOUSE AND IN MY ABSENCE,” Nwoko 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 program, 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 3 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 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.”

Regina Daniels got married to Nwoko, who was 60 years old at the time in April 2019.

The billionaire prince is forty years older than Regina Daniels, and their union has remained one of the most talked about in Nigeria and beyond, owing to the wide age gap and the fact that Regina was just a teenager at the time.
