Senator Ned Nwoko, estranged husband of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has claimed that he gave his mother-in-law, Rita Daniels, over N125 million in the past two years.
Nwoko also said he sponsored the education of Regina’s elder brother, Sammy West, who is currently in detention.
Speaking publicly about his marital crisis, Nwoko shared a series of social media posts, including videos, alleging that Regina’s family repeatedly interfered with her rehabilitation from drug addiction.
“These videos show Sammy, Regina’s brother, repeatedly coming to my home and harassing my children and domestic staff, especially when I was not around.”
“This is despite the support I provided for him, including sponsoring his last two years at the University of Ekpoma, buying his musical instruments, renting and furnishing a flat for him in Abuja, and providing a house for Regina in Asaba,” Nwoko said.
He said he routinely supported other family members as well, including sending N125 million to Rita Daniels over the last two years.
Nwoko alleged that Regina’s siblings and friends, specifically Sammy, Destiny, Sonia Uche Montana and others, constantly ignored doctors’ instructions during her rehabilitation, bringing her drugs and enabling her addiction.
“Lawrence, Sammy, and others introduced Regina to these substances and continued using them themselves. Their behavior frustrated the efforts of the doctors and therapists,” he said.
He recounted recent incidents where Regina was found high in his house, accompanied by Sammy’s girlfriend, who is among those allegedly enabling her addiction.
Nwoko said he had to remove the woman from his home, after which Sammy confronted him aggressively. Security had to intervene to prevent further escalation.
Nwoko also claimed that Regina’s siblings verbally assaulted police officers and domestic staff tasked with ensuring her safety, and that Regina frequently left home at night, sometimes staying out until the next day.
He blamed her ongoing drug use on her celebrity lifestyle and peer influences.
He added that a viral video showing a confrontation at his home was staged by Regina’s family in his absence and that no one was physically harmed.
Nwoko concluded by saying that Sammy should focus on his own life and career, noting that his brother Lawrence had gone abroad for further studies while Sammy chose to stay in Nigeria.
He emphasized that Sammy needs rehabilitation, warning that his violent behavior would continue otherwise.
