The ongoing marital conflict between Nigerian billionaire senator Ned Nwoko and his actress wife Regina Daniels has taken a dramatic new turn as the politician publicly challenges her claims about their marriage timeline.
Documentary Evidence Presented
Senator Ned Nwoko, 45, took to social media platform X to firmly deny allegations circulating that he married Regina Daniels when she was only 17 years old. The senator produced what he claims is definitive proof to support his version of events.
On Thursday, November 13, 2025, Nwoko addressed the controversy head-on, stating that the claims about Regina's age at the time of their marriage are completely false. According to his detailed statement, Regina initially told him she was 21 years old when they began their relationship.
The senator presented photographs of what appears to be Regina Daniels' INEC voter's card, which he claims shows her date of birth as October 10, 1998. Nwoko maintains he has kept this document in his possession since their first discussions about marriage.
Shocking Allegations Emerge
Nwoko's response took an unexpectedly personal turn as he made serious allegations about his wife's mental health and personal struggles. The senator urged the public to approach Regina's claims with caution, citing what he described as her current mental condition.
In a startling revelation, Nwoko alleged that Regina had begun but abandoned rehabilitation from illegal drug addiction. These claims add another layer of complexity to the already tense situation between the couple.
The senator insisted that the official records he presented are verifiable and indisputable, asking the public to trust documented evidence over verbal claims.
Background of the Controversy
The relationship between Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels has been under intense public scrutiny since their traditional marriage in 2019. The significant age gap between the couple, estimated at approximately 40 years, immediately became a national talking point.
Media speculation at the time of their marriage suggested Regina was only 17 or 18 years old, triggering widespread criticism. Nwoko has consistently maintained that his wife was legally and morally an adult capable of consenting to the union.
According to the senator's current timeline, their marriage took place six years ago, meaning Regina would be 27 years old today if the voter's card information is accurate.
The controversy is further complicated by recent legal issues involving Regina's brother, Sammy West, who has faced multiple arrests but is currently understood to be out on bail.
Earlier reports from Pulse indicated that Regina Daniels had made serious counter-allegations against her husband, claiming he was aware of her substance use and even encouraged it to ensure her compliance with his sexual demands.
The actress also alleged that the senator was involved in medically inducing her during certain periods of their marriage. She pointed to these issues as the root cause of her desire to end their relationship permanently.
As the public drama continues to unfold on social media, both parties appear determined to present their versions of the truth, leaving Nigerians divided over whose account to believe in this high-profile marital dispute.
