The once-celebrated union between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and billionaire politician Senator Ned Nwoko has spectacularly collapsed into a major public scandal, marked by explosive counterclaims that have gripped social media and tabloids.
What began as a widely publicized fairy-tale marriage in 2019 now appears to be nearing a breaking point, with both parties leveling severe allegations against the other.
Nwoko Alleges Drug Use, Violence, and Family Payouts
Senator Nwoko has pinned the marital breakdown on what he claims is Regina’s alleged drug and alcohol use, leading to violent episodes and property destruction. He claimed the actress attacked three staff members within a 48-hour period and alleged she moved out of their home to a location where she has “unrestricted access to drugs.”
To underscore his financial support for her family, Nwoko revealed that he had given Regina’s mother a staggering N125 million over the past two years, responding to reports that Regina had accused him of neglect. While strongly denying any claims of domestic violence, he stated: “I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence. Regina is the violent one here.” He added that he offered her rehabilitation options both in Abuja and abroad.
Regina Claims Arrests, Vows to Protect Children
Regina Daniels has vigorously refuted her husband’s claims. In an emotional video, she admitted her family is “in turmoil,” but insisted that she married Nwoko “for love, not money.”
The actress alleged that Nwoko has been using his influence to have her siblings arrested in an effort to pressure her into returning to a rehabilitation facility. She warned that her youngest sister might be the next target. Regina vowed to protect her children and mother, appealing to the public to cease insulting her family amid the crisis.
As lengthy press statements and viral videos continue to fuel public debate, both sides remain entrenched in their positions Nwoko pushing for rehabilitation, and Regina demanding justice and freedom. The high-profile union has transformed into a public courtroom drama, with the couple’s reputation, power, and future hanging in the balance.
