Nigerian politician and Senator, Ned Nwoko, has shared fresh details about his ongoing marital crisis with Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, accusing members of her family of introducing her to drug use and frustrating efforts to help her recover.
In a lengthy post on X, Nwoko alleged that Regina’s brother, Samuel Daniels (popularly known as “Sammy”), together with some individuals he identified as Lawrence, NK, Destiny, and Sonia Uche Montana, were directly involved in introducing the actress to illicit substances and consistently undermined her rehabilitation process.
According to Nwoko, despite the support he extended to Regina’s family, including funding education, housing, and regular allowances, they repaid him with ‘betrayal and interference.’
“This is someone I sponsored through his last two years at the University of Ekpoma. I bought his musical instruments and rented and furnished a flat for him in Abuja, in addition to the house I bought for Regina in Asaba before our marriage, for the use of all of them,” Nwoko stated.
He further revealed that he “routinely provided allowances to all members of the family,” including Regina’s mother, Rita Daniels, claiming that he had transferred over ₦125 million to her alone in the last two years.

Nwoko said that during Regina’s rehabilitation, medical professionals had instructed that access to her be restricted, especially from those he described as her enablers. However, he alleged that her siblings and friends repeatedly violated these rules.
“Unfortunately, Sammy, Destiny, some of their siblings, together with a few of their friends, notably Sonia Uche Montana, constantly defied those instructions.
“They would come into the house uninvited, sometimes forcing their way in, and would bring her the same drugs she was being treated for. Instead of helping her recover, they encouraged her addiction and completely frustrated the efforts of the doctors and therapists working with her,” he said.
The Delta North Senator also accused Sammy of harassing his children and domestic staff, describing his behavior as aggressive and disrespectful.
“On several occasions, they verbally assaulted and intimidated the police officers stationed at the house for security. The officers were simply following instructions to restrict access for the sake of Regina’s recovery, but Sammy and his group would insult and threaten them,” Nwoko noted.
He added that Regina would often become hostile towards domestic staff whenever she was denied permission to leave the house in his absence.
“Whenever Regina wanted to go out and I was not around, she would become extremely hostile toward the police and domestic staff. She would shout, threaten, and use abusive words, insisting that she must leave the house no matter what,” he said.
Ned Nwoko’s post comes amid ongoing controversies between the couple, following a viral video showing Regina’s siblings confronting his security personnel at his residence.
The senator maintains that the video was “staged” and filmed in his absence, describing it as “a pure Nollywood scenario.”
