Senator Ned Nwoko has linked the recent tension in his marriage to actress Regina Daniels to what he described as her struggle with drug and alcohol abuse.
This came after a viral video showed Regina Daniels looking distressed and complaining about alleged violence in her marriage.
In the video, the actress said, “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 sparked public concern and drew a reaction from a man identified as her brother, who vowed on Instagram to defend her.
Reacting on his official X account, Nwoko denied the allegations of domestic violence and claimed his wife’s behaviour was linked to substance abuse.
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 program, or I fear for her life and safety.”
He added that his attempts to help her seek professional treatment had been resisted, saying, “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.”
The senator also alleged that Regina had recently turned violent at home, claiming she attacked three domestic staff and damaged 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 said.
Nwoko also named some individuals he claimed were involved in supplying drugs to Regina. “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.
The lawmaker insisted he had never been violent towards any of his wives and urged Regina to continue her rehabilitation. “I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence,” he added.
