Any Claim That I Married Regina at 17 Is False — Ned Nwoko
Senator Ned Nwoko has denied claims by his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, that he married her at the age of 17.
In a statement posted on his social media pages, the lawmaker described the allegation as false and malicious, stating that Regina was 21 at the time of their marriage and had presented her INEC voter’s card as proof.
Nwoko also alleged that Regina’s recent statements were influenced by her “mental health struggles” and “unfinished rehabilitation from substance use.”
The dispute has dominated online discussions, with Regina accusing Nwoko of introducing her to drugs — a claim he has strongly refuted, insisting her brother was responsible.
