In a dramatic turn of events within the polygamous household of Nigerian billionaire Prince Ned Nwoko, his Moroccan wife Laila Charani has broken her silence to address serious allegations made by her co-wife, actress Regina Daniels.
The Initial Allegations and Counter-response
Regina Daniels had recently made shocking claims that she was the one financially supporting Laila, describing her co-wife as "evil" and "senseless." The Nollywood actress further alleged that Laila had told their husband that Regina might molest their daughters, escalating the tension within the family.
Reacting emotionally through Instagram posts, Laila Charani firmly denied these accusations. "I have always chosen peace and minded my own business, yet I find myself being disrespected for no reason," she stated. The Moroccan wife emphasized that Regina was the first to speak about her publicly, prompting her response.
Financial Support Claims Debunked
One of the most significant points of contention involved financial matters. Laila directly addressed Regina's claim of providing financial support, calling such statements "untrue and unfair." She categorically denied ever receiving money or financial assistance from her co-wife, challenging the narrative that had been circulating in the media.
Serious Drug and Alcohol Allegations Surface
The conflict took a more serious turn when Laila made counter-allegations about Regina's lifestyle. She claimed that Ned Nwoko has always been opposed to alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and that Regina's conflict with their husband stems from his insistence that she stop her alleged drug and alcohol habits.
In a shocking revelation, Laila alleged that Regina introduced her to drugs six years ago, nearly costing her marriage. She further claimed that Regina has been a negative influence since joining the family, even accusing her of providing drugs to nannies, workers, and her younger sister, Destiny.
"The only reason you are fighting my husband is because he wants you to stop your drug and alcohol addiction," Laila wrote. "It has always been a serious matter for him, as he neither smokes nor drinks himself."
Child Safety Concerns Expressed
The Moroccan wife expressed deep concerns about child safety within the household. Laila stated she cannot trust her daughters around Regina unsupervised, citing the serious nature of her allegations. She emphasized her protective stance as a mother while maintaining that her comments came from a place of genuine concern rather than anger.
Laila concluded her emotional posts with a mixture of warning and apparent concern, urging Regina to seek immediate help and continue with rehabilitation. She asked her co-wife to leave the other wives out of their conflicts and focus on addressing her personal challenges.
"Please go and sort yourself out. Seek help immediately and continue with your rehabilitation, and leave the other wives out of this," Laila wrote. "I say this not out of anger, but from a place of truth and concern for the level of lies that you are peddling."
Broader Context and Additional Developments
The family drama continues to unfold against the backdrop of previous controversies surrounding Ned Nwoko's marriages. Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has recently made fresh accusations against the politician regarding his marriage to Regina Daniels.
Ned Nwoko had previously debunked allegations that he married Regina as a minor, insisting he never coerced her into the union. The billionaire politician has been vocal about wanting Regina "alive and healthy for her children" and has insisted on taking her to rehabilitation for her alleged addiction issues.
As the situation develops, the public continues to follow the dramatic exchanges between the wives of one of Nigeria's most prominent figures, with social media platforms buzzing with reactions and opinions about the ongoing family conflict.
