Ned Nwoko Breaks Silence, Accuses Regina Daniels Of Violence, Drug Abuse
Businessman and politician, Senator Ned Nwoko, has denied allegations of domestic violence against his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, attributing their marital crisis to her alleged struggle with drug and alcohol abuse.
In a statement released on Sunday, Nwoko said Regina’s substance use had negatively affected their marriage, alleging that she had recently become violent towards his staff and damaged property in their home.
He claimed that within two days, the actress assaulted three of his employees and destroyed vehicles and windows. According to him, he had advised her to continue rehabilitation either in Asokoro or abroad, where she would have limited access to drugs.
Nwoko further alleged that Regina refused to take their son, Moon, to the hospital during a medical emergency and instead attacked a resident nurse who reportedly exposed her alleged drug use. He also accused two individuals, identified as Sammy and Ann, of supplying drugs to her and causing chaos in his absence.
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 three staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause. 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 drug abuse. While I took Moon to the hospital, chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier is the tiny evil devil called Ann.”
Nwoko’s statement comes after a viral video of Regina Daniels surfaced online on Saturday, October 18, 2025, showing her in tears and alleging she had been subjected to violence.
In the video, the actress was heard saying, “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 footage, which showed people attempting to calm her down, sparked widespread speculation on social media about trouble in their marriage.
Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko’s marriage has long been a topic of public attention, partly due to the 40-year age gap between them.
