Senator Ned Nwoko has claimed that his wife, popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, is struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, which he described as the main cause of the ongoing issues in their marriage.

In a statement released on Sunday via his official Facebook page, the Delta North senator expressed deep concern over Regina’s health and safety, claiming that her substance abuse struggles have led to violent behavior and erratic conduct at home.

In the statement titled, ‘Regina’s Unprovoked Carnage And Rampage In My House And In My Absence,’ Nwoko said Regina was not always “like this,” adding that she must continue her rehabilitation program, or he fears for her life and safety.

The lawmaker stated that he had urged his wife to enter a rehabilitation facility either in Asokoro, Abuja, or abroad, particularly in Jordan, where she would not have access to drugs.

He alleged that Regina refused and instead relocated to an undisclosed location where she could easily obtain substances.

The senator said he has other wives, and none have ever accused him of violence. He claimed that Regina is the violent one, having slapped and hit three staff members in the past 48 hours and destroyed property, including cars and windows.

He 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.”

He further accused two individuals, identified as Sammy and Ann, of supplying drugs to the actress.

According to him, one of the incidents that triggered recent chaos in their home involved a confrontation with a nurse who allegedly exposed Regina’s drug use.

The senator representing Delta North senatorial district in the Nigerian Senate, said, “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 (the couple’s son) 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,” he added.

Regina Daniels, 25, rose to fame as a child actress and has since become one of Nollywood’s most recognisable faces. She married Senator Nwoko, a lawyer and politician, in 2019, and the couple has two children together.

Earlier, SaharaReporters reported that the actress had cried out over alleged persistent domestic violence and abuse in her marriage.

In a viral video that surfaced online on Saturday, Regina cried, “Not again, I can’t stand the violence, it is too much.”

The viral video making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter) showed Regina surrounded by several people, including a lady believed to be her sister, amid a tense commotion.

In the video, Regina seemed to be fainting as those who surrounded her could be heard requesting water for her.

Meanwhile, she could be heard shouting, “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.”
At one point, the video depicts men who appeared ready to intervene, including a man holding what looked like a stick, suggesting the situation had become heated.

As she broke down in tears, those around her were seen trying to calm her down, but the immediate cause of the disturbance was not made clear in the recording.

Social media has been abuzz with reactions following viral reports alleging that actress Regina Daniels experienced domestic violence in her marriage to Senator Ned Nwoko.

Many users and celebrities have taken to various platforms to express concern, outrage, disbelief, and mockery, while others called for an investigation into the disturbing claims.

Recall that a viral video showed the actress in distress, accusing her husband of sending thugs to assault her.

In the footage, Regina was seen crying and shouting: “In Ned Nwoko’s house I’m nothing, but in my house I’m a queen. I can’t stand the violence — it’s too much.”
