The highly publicized marriage between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and billionaire politician Ned Nwoko has erupted into a dramatic public confrontation, with both parties making shocking allegations against each other.
The Initial Allegations from Senator Nwoko
On Sunday, November 9, 2025, Senator Ned Nwoko, 64, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the ongoing marital tensions and the recent arrest of Regina Daniels' brother, Sammy West. The billionaire politician shared videos showing Sammy West allegedly harassing his children and domestic staff at their residence.
In his detailed statement, Nwoko revealed that he had sponsored Sammy West through his final two years at the University of Ekpoma and provided substantial financial support to Regina's family. He disclosed transferring ₦125 million to her mother, Rita Daniel, over the past two years, in addition to buying musical instruments and renting a furnished apartment for Sammy in Abuja.
Regina Daniels' Explosive Counter-Attack
Moments after Nwoko's post, Regina Daniels, 24, launched a devastating response on her official Instagram page, directly contradicting her husband's claims and leveling serious allegations of abuse, manipulation, and deception.
1. No Legal Marriage Exists
In one of the most significant revelations, Daniels claimed that their marriage was never legally formalized. Despite their widely publicized traditional ceremony in 2019 in Anioma, Delta State, the actress asserted that no legal documents were ever signed. "I would have filed for divorce long ago if there was ever a legal marriage between us," she stated.
2. Husband Encouraged Drug Use
Contradicting Nwoko's rehabilitation narrative, Daniels alleged that her husband actively encouraged her drug use because he found her behavior sexually appealing when under the influence. She claimed Nwoko told her she was "sexier" when high and preferred her in that state for romantic encounters.
3. Drug Use Among All Wives
The actress broadened her allegations by claiming that drug use is common among all of Nwoko's wives and ex-wives. She challenged him to explain why this pattern exists within his polygamous household, directly undermining his moral stance against substance abuse.
4. Forced Medical Intervention
Daniels made disturbing claims about forced medical treatments, alleging that Nwoko would have doctors inject her with drugs meant for bipolar disorder patients whenever she expressed desire to leave the relationship. She described being locked up and having her phones seized until she changed her mind about leaving.
5. Allegations of Unwanted Physical Contact
In one of the most serious allegations, Daniels claimed that Nwoko forced himself on her sexually when she refused consent. This directly contradicts the senator's public claims of being a non-violent man and transforms the marital dispute into potential criminal territory.
6. Root Cause: Desire to Leave
The actress insisted that the entire crisis stems from her decision to end the relationship. She characterized the drug allegations as a "red herring" designed to distract from Nwoko's inability to accept rejection. Daniels accused him of trying to isolate her from friends and family to force her return to the marriage.
Escalating Crisis and Public Reaction
The controversy has gripped Nigerian media and social platforms for weeks, with both parties presenting dramatically different narratives. While Nwoko framed the situation as an intervention for drug addiction and mental health issues, Daniels portrayed it as a control tactic to prevent her from leaving the relationship.
As of the time of reporting, Senator Nwoko has not responded to Daniels' latest bombshell allegations. The case continues to develop, with the public eagerly awaiting further developments in this high-profile celebrity marriage crisis.
