Ned Nwoko blames marital crisis on Regina Daniels’ alleged struggle with drugs, alcohol

Senator Ned Nwoko has blamed the ongoing tension in his marriage to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels on what he described as her “battle with drugs and alcohol abuse.”

His statement followed the circulation of a viral video showing Regina Daniels in distress, lamenting alleged domestic violence. In the clip, 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 video, which quickly spread across social media, drew emotional reactions from fans and family members, including her brother, who vowed online to protect her.

Responding to the controversy, Senator Nwoko took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to deny the domestic violence allegations, claiming instead that his wife’s recent actions were caused by substance abuse.

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.”

According to him, his efforts to have her undergo professional treatment have met resistance. “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,” he said.

Nwoko also alleged that Regina had recently acted violently at home, claiming she assaulted three domestic staff and destroyed property. “She is the violent one here, slapping and hitting staff in the past 48 hours and destroying cars and windows for no just cause,” he stated.

The senator further accused two individuals of supplying drugs to the actress. “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 alleged.

Nwoko maintained that he had never been violent towards any of his wives. “I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence,” he added, insisting that Regina must continue rehabilitation for her own well-being.
