Senator Nwoko: Regina’s battle with drugs, alcohol abuse behind our problem

The senator representing Delta North senatorial district, Ned Nwoko, has broken his silence on the dispute with his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, attributing their marital crisis to her battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

Regina had earlier accused Nwoko of assault and domestic abuse.

She alleged that the violence in her husband’s home had become unbearable, saying Nwoko sent thugs to attack her.

“Ned sent thugs. In Ned Nwoko’s house, I’m nothing, but in my house, I’m a queen. I can’t stand the violence anymore; it’s too much,” the mother of two was heard saying in a viral video on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

Reacting via a statement shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, Nwoko denied allegations of domestic violence preferred against him by Regina, insisting that he had never been abusive to any of his wives.

The lawmaker, who also shared a video showing his properties allegedly destroyed by Regina, stated that despite having other wives, none had ever accused him of violence.

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.

“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.”

Nwoko explained that he had set a clear condition for Regina to undergo rehabilitation, either at a facility in Asokoro, Abuja, or abroad, to help her overcome addiction.

Nwoko added: “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.”
