Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, has issued a statement asserting the authenticity of circulating medical documents that allege substance abuse involving his wife, actress Regina Daniels.
The statement, posted on the Senator’s Instagram page on Saturday and signed by the head of his Communication Team, was released to address the controversy that followed after one of the hospitals named in the reports publicly denied issuing the document.
According to PUNCH, Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja said it did not author a purported medical report claiming that Daniels had been battling severe substance abuse.
The viral document, carrying the signature of the hospital’s Managing Director and Head of Clinical Services, Adekunle Adesina, allegedly stated that Daniels was diagnosed with a substance use disorder and placed on a home-based detox programme beginning September 24, 2025.
However, the statement shared by Nwoko maintained that the reports are “genuine” and clarified the hospital’s position.
“A medical report concerning Regina Nwoko has been circulating online. The reports are genuine,” the statement read.
It continued: “The rehabilitation centre only clarified that it did not publish or circulate the documents, which is expected because medical institutions must protect client confidentiality. They did not deny authoring the reports; their concern is the leak itself.”
The post urged the public to examine the full documents, which the Senator’s team said provide a clear account of the situation. “The public is encouraged to read the full reports, because they explain the situation clearly and directly. Both the toxicology report and the Serenity Hospital report confirm the presence of the same substances, all at levels that pose serious health risks: Marijuana, Cocaine, Morphine, Opiates at extremely elevated levels, Alcohol at a critically dangerous level.”
The statement also referenced a report from Nizamiya Hospital, adding: “The Nizamiya Hospital report dated 3rd October adds an even more troubling detail. She was brought into the hospital unconscious from a drug overdose. These facts are documented, consistent, and deeply alarming.
“The reports also describe the challenges the rehabilitation centre faced, including persistent interference from her siblings. They openly stated that they do not see anything wrong in giving her alcohol and weed, even while she was undergoing rehabilitation, and they have continued enabling her substance use.
“Their actions made effective treatment impossible and remain one of the major reasons she has not been able to complete rehabilitation.”
The statement further suggested that Daniels’ recent online activities reflect her ongoing struggles, noting that the Senator’s insistence on therapy stems from concerns about her mental and emotional stability.
It stated: “Many have questioned why the Senator is insisting on therapy. His determination comes from the clear reality that several of Regina’s recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind.
“She is vulnerable, unprotected, and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain. Her online behaviour reflects her current struggles, and she tends to listen more to public voices than to medical professionals or her husband.”
The post said private attempts to help her had been unsuccessful, adding that the severity of the substances detected and the emergency incident documented by a hospital made it impossible to handle the matter privately. Insisting on the authenticity of the reports, it concluded: “At this point, the question becomes: must we wait until Regina reaches a point of irreversible harm before we support her, encourage her to stop substance abuse, and help her commit to rehabilitation.
“Distinguished Senator is genuinely and deeply concerned. His tone, his actions, and his persistence all reflect a man who wants Regina to recover, to be safe, to be clear-minded, and to be present for her two young sons. Until those boys are old enough to guide her themselves, he will continue doing everything within his responsibility to help restore her well-being and ensure that future choices are made with clarity.
“The reports are authentic. The hospitals and rehabilitation centres did not leak them. The findings speak for themselves. Regina needs consistent treatment, support, and protection. Not denial, not interference, and not enabling. She is a mother, and she deserves the chance to regain her health and stability.”
PUNCH also reports that Daniels previously responded to the Senator’s claims, acknowledging past drug use but stating that it was not the cause of their marital issues. She rejected Nwoko’s allegations as exaggerated and manipulative, claiming they were meant to tarnish her public image.
Daniels further alleged that Nwoko encouraged her drug use for his own satisfaction and accused him of isolating her by targeting her friends and family.
