Actress Regina Daniels has issued a stern warning to her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, declaring that she is ready to “spill everything” amid their ongoing public dispute over drug allegations and child custody.

The warning follows Nwoko’s statement on Saturday, in which he insisted that circulating medical reports indicating Regina’s alleged use of marijuana, cocaine, morphine, opiates, and high levels of alcohol were authentic.

His statement, shared via his official Instagram page, claimed that the reports were consistent across Serenity Royale Hospital, Nizamiya Hospital, and a rehabilitation center, and argued that Regina required therapy due to “recent decisions not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind.”

Rejecting the claims, Regina described the reports as fake and accused Nwoko of attempting to tarnish her reputation to gain an advantage in the custody battle.

In a social media post, she wrote, “Ned, can you actually leave me alone?? Why are you trying so hard to ruin me publicly and privately because you know in my part of the world, a good reputation equals money… I’m tireddd!! You trapped my life since 17 so this is me fighting for my freedom.”

The actress also alleged that Nwoko introduced her to ecstasy when she was a teenager and accused him of misusing Viagra while claiming she repeatedly rushed him to the hospital for blood pressure spikes.

She further claimed that one of Nwoko’s other wives had a history of drug use, suggesting a long-standing pattern within the household.

Regina described the fake drug reports as an attempt to discredit her in court and accused Nwoko of calling her a “drug head.”

She warned, “If you don’t leave me alone, I’m going to dig, spill everything, whether murder case, land grabbing, fraud, etc.”

She confirmed that she has now left the home she shared with the Senator and is focusing on rebuilding her life, adding, “Thank God I’m out of your bad hood krib where a lot of things go down. My future is promised; it’s not too late to pick up.”

Regina had previously admitted to past drug use but denied that it caused issues in their marriage, accusing Nwoko of manipulation.

Nigeria on Monday received two historic Benin bronzes, a bronze relief plaque and a commemorative head, in another major step toward reclaiming artefacts looted from the Benin Kingdom in 1897.

The Ministry of Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy took delivery of the items from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after they were repatriated by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Expressing gratitude to the Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, described the return as a landmark achievement.

“This is a significant moment for Nigeria and the people of the Benin Kingdom,” she said.

“We are in ongoing discussions with other institutions holding these items, and we believe this process of returning them to their rightful owners will expand in the coming months.”

Director-General of the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), Olugbile Holloway, commended individuals and groups involved in securing the return, including NCMM staff and Prince Aghatise Erediauwa, a long-standing advocate for restitution.

Holloway said the return represents the recovery of a critical piece of Nigeria’s cultural legacy.

“While today’s handover is especially meaningful for Benin, it also reflects Nigeria’s broader restitution efforts. We have significant items from Ife and other regions still abroad, so this event is symbolic and historic,” he added.

The brief ceremony was attended by three high chiefs representing the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare, according to a statement from the minister’s Special Adviser, Nneka Anibeze.

The Benin bronzes, more than 2,000 brass and bronze works seized during the British invasion, are scattered across museums and private collections worldwide.

Nigeria has recently stepped up diplomatic outreach to recover them, winning commitments from several institutions in the US, UK, and Europe.

Monday’s handover follows a 2023 Memorandum of Understanding between Nigeria and the United States focused on returning looted cultural objects and enhancing cultural collaboration.

The development aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda, which prioritises the restoration of national heritage and the promotion of cultural identity.

Michael Achimugu, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), says social media personality Martins Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), and comedian Freedom Atsepoyi, known as Mr. Jollof, will face legal consequences after the pair were filmed fighting aboard a commercial flight.

The incident occurred on Monday during an Abuja-bound trip and caused panic among passengers.

What started as a heated verbal clash quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, prompting cabin crew and startled travellers to rush in and separate the two.

In a statement on his official X handle, Achimugu confirmed that the NCAA is awaiting a formal incident report from the airline, which is currently holding an internal management meeting regarding the matter.

He noted that such procedures are standard practice worldwide.

Achimugu said “The NCAA will carry out its obligations. Our officers in Asaba have been instructed to establish the exact steps taken by aviation security, the pilots, and other staff during the incident. This investigation will cover more than just the passengers involved. How long it took for security to respond, when the pilot called for assistance, and the status of the passengers afterward will all form part of the report.”

He added that the Authority lacks prosecutorial powers but will recommend that the airline blacklist both men and will formally notify the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to pursue charges.

Achimugu stressed that unruly conduct on an aircraft is intolerable, especially coming from two public figures widely known for advising their followers against such behaviour.

He also highlighted the extensive efforts NCAA continues to invest in sensitising air travellers about the risks and penalties associated with disruptive conduct.

At least 25 students from Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, in Kebbi State’s Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, were abducted on Sunday night as armed bandits stormed the school in a deadly overnight raid.

Sources said the assailants struck around midnight, moving swiftly through the school premises and shooting the Vice Principal, Malam Hassan Makuku, who was reportedly trying to shield the girls from the attackers.

His killing sent shockwaves through the community, which has been thrown into deep grief.

Witnesses described the attack as unchallenged, noting that the gunmen moved freely without meeting resistance, sending residents into panic and fear.

Community members have since offered prayers for Makuku, asking Allah to grant him eternal peace and to console his family over the tragic loss.

The Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed that 25 schoolgirls were taken during the invasion.

According to the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ahmed Idris, Deputy Governor Senator Umar Tafida has been directed to visit the school and ascertain the full situation.

Governor Nasir Idris is currently outside the state, but officials said he is expected back soon.

“The deputy governor is on his way to get a clear picture of what happened. The governor will take further action as soon as he returns,” Idris stated.
