‘Regina battling drug, alcohol addiction’ — Ned Nwoko opens up on wife, says she needs rehabilitation

Published

on

Ned Nwoko, senator representing Delta north, has accused his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, of drug and alcohol abuse.

His comments followed a viral video on Saturday showing a tearful Daniels being comforted by friends as she alleged mistreatment in their marriage.

“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my house, I am a queen. Not again, I cannot stand the violence, it is too much,” Daniels said in the video, which sparked widespread public concern.

But responding to the viral clip in a post on X, Nwoko denied the allegations of domestic abuse and claimed instead that his wife’s addiction to drugs and alcohol had become the “root of our problem”.

“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 programme, or I fear for her life and safety,” Nwoko wrote.

The lawmaker alleged that Daniels had recently moved to a place where she could have “unrestricted access to drugs”, adding that her violent behaviour in recent days had targeted both household staff and property.

“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,” he said.

Nwoko noted that he had asked his wife to undergo rehabilitation either in Asokoro or abroad — preferably in Jordan — where she would be far removed from her alleged suppliers and have no access to harmful substances.

“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,” the senator alleged, referring to an incident involving their son.

He claimed that while he took their child to receive medical attention, chaos erupted at home, allegedly instigated by one of Daniels’ close associates identified as “Sammy”, whom Nwoko described as her “main drug supplier”.

He further accused another individual, referred to as “the tiny evil devil called Ann”, of being part of a circle that enabled his wife’s addiction.

The senator said his overriding concern was not reputation but Daniels’ health and safety, warning that her condition could deteriorate if she failed to continue her rehabilitation.

“I fear for her well-being if she does not continue her rehabilitation”, Nwoko said, adding that her actions over the past two days had been “a clear manifestation of addiction”.

For Zaynab, philanthropy is not a seasonal obligation or a public relations gesture; it is a way of life. True to her enduring spirit of generosity, she marked her birthday not with chandeliers and champagne, but with open arms and a giving heart—celebrating with the needy, the forgotten and the vulnerable.

From distributing food items and essential supplies to sharing warm embraces and reassuring words, she turned what could have been a private celebration into a communal blessing. For many beneficiaries, her presence was more precious than the gifts she brought. She did not merely give; she connected. She listened. She cared.
