Nollywood star Regina Daniels has publicly expressed her deep anguish over being separated from her children, launching serious allegations against her estranged husband, businessman and politician Ned Nwoko. The actress claims Nwoko is using custody of their sons as a weapon against her following the collapse of their marriage.
A Mother's Heartfelt Lament
In an emotional social media post, Daniels shared a video of herself speaking to her sons via a video call, highlighting the profound distance she feels. She revealed that the last time she was able to communicate with her children was in mid-November 2024, shortly after she left the marriage. Daniels cited allegations of domestic violence as a key reason for her departure.
"People may believe that I am happy, but no mother can be at peace while separated from her children," Daniels wrote. She explained that she chose not to let the pain define her, which contributed to the time it took for her to walk away from the relationship.
Allegations of Tactics and a Fight for Custody
The actress leveled a series of accusations against Ned Nwoko, detailing what she describes as a concerted effort to alienate her from their kids. She claimed Nwoko dismissed all her nannies and pressured them into making false statements accusing her of violence and alcohol abuse in front of the children.
Despite already having the children in his care, Daniels stated that Nwoko has since filed for full custody. She questioned his motives, suggesting that his repeated public posting of the children online was a deliberate ploy for negative attention rather than an act of parental responsibility. "It is implausible that a public figure, particularly one with legislative experience, would be unaware that posting our children publicly... would inevitably attract media scrutiny," she argued.
A Defiant Promise to Reclaim Her Children
Regina Daniels ended her message with a firm and defiant declaration aimed directly at Ned Nwoko. She asserted that despite her youth, she is a devoted mother who misses her role profoundly.
"It's so crazy if their father thinks I won't come for my children. I will definitely see my kids soon!" she vowed, signaling an escalation in the already public and contentious battle over custody. The situation continues to unfold, drawing significant attention from fans and the Nigerian media alike.
