Senator Ned Nwoko has broken his silence amid the ongoing crisis in his marriage to actress Regina Daniels, making startling revelations about how their relationship began. The Delta North lawmaker insists he never pursued the young actress, contradicting public perception about their controversial union.
The Shocking Revelation About Their Marriage Beginning
In an official statement released by his Communication and Technical Action Team, the politician claimed that Regina Daniels' mother, Rita Daniels, personally introduced her daughter to him for marriage. This revelation comes as the couple's relationship faces intense public scrutiny following Regina's allegations of domestic violence and emotional abuse.
Nwoko strongly denied any manipulation or power play in their union, stating clearly: "For clarity, Regina Daniels was born on October 10, 2000. If she has been married to me for six years, that means she married at 19, not 17. The public witnessed her family giving her away in marriage. There were witnesses to the fact that her mother personally brought her to me. I never went after her."
Escalating Crisis and Counter Allegations
The marriage crisis exploded into public view two weeks ago when Regina Daniels announced she was "no longer interested" in the marriage, citing years of alleged abuse. The actress's declaration marked a dramatic turn for a relationship once portrayed as glamorous and successful.
In response to her allegations, Senator Nwoko made counter-claims, accusing the actress of substance abuse and insisting she needed rehabilitation. The public feud has divided fans and sparked national debate about power dynamics in celebrity marriages, particularly those with significant age gaps.
Family Members Enter the Fray
The conflict has drawn in family members, with Regina Daniels' brother, Sweezy, making fresh allegations against the senator. He claimed that Nwoko nearly beat their mother and treated his sick niece poorly by sending her away from his house at 3 am.
Additional accusations include physical aggression toward staff members, including Regina's former personal assistant, Leya. These allegations have further complicated the already tense situation between the couple.
Meanwhile, Regina has responded to the massive online support from fans, throwing shade at her husband in social media posts. She expressed relief after her brother, Sammy West, was released from police custody, noting that one of her battles was finally over.
When asked by a curious fan on Instagram whether she would consider marrying an older man again in another life, the actress suggested that age might not deter her from love, despite the current storm surrounding her marriage to Ned Nwoko.
The ongoing saga continues to captivate Nigerian social media users and celebrity watchers, raising important questions about marriage, power dynamics, and the pressures of public relationships in the digital age.
