Nollywood star Regina Daniels has raised a public alarm, alleging a fresh wave of police persecution against her family orchestrated by her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. The actress made the shocking revelation during a recent Instagram Live session, stating that her brother, Sammy Daniels, was arrested again while livestreaming, and that arrest warrants have been issued for her entire family, including herself.
The Arrest and Allegations of Theft
Regina Daniels, appearing visibly distressed during the broadcast with media personality Daddy Freeze, confirmed that the arrest of her brother and a close family friend was carried out on the instructions of Senator Ned Nwoko. She detailed that the incident occurred while Sammy was live on video, sending shockwaves through their family.
The root of the conflict, according to Regina, is an accusation from Nwoko that members of her family stole $40,000 from his home. The actress vehemently denied this allegation, stating, "He's saying that we stole 40,000 dollars from his house, whereas he doesn't even keep money in the house." She insisted that no theft occurred and framed the claims as a form of intimidation following her departure from the marriage.
A Family Living in Fear
The situation has escalated beyond a single arrest. Regina claimed that after her brother's initial release, there was another attempt to detain him, which was only thwarted by the intervention of bystanders. This has created an atmosphere of constant anxiety for the Daniels family.
"There's a warrant on everybody. The same warrant is on my head," Regina declared, alleging that warrants are being issued "indiscriminately." She expressed that her family is now "unsettled and constantly looking over their shoulders," fearing further police action.
Background: A Marriage Dissolved Amidst Claims of Violence
This very public clash is the latest chapter in the ongoing fallout from Regina Daniels' decision to leave her marriage to the billionaire politician in October 2025. At the time, the actress cited domestic violence as her reason for exiting the union, explaining she had endured more than she could handle.
The current crisis, involving police and allegations of theft, appears to be a dramatic continuation of their separation. Regina maintains that the allegations are a pressure tactic, meant to target her after she walked away.
Public Reaction and Context
The news has sparked significant chatter on social media, with many Nigerians expressing shock at the unfolding drama. Comments ranged from those overwhelmed by the confluence of celebrity scandals to others analyzing the high-stakes nature of the allegations.
This incident also follows Regina Daniels' recent move to undergo a drug test to dispel rumours and, as she stated, protect her children's future—another aspect of the personal battles she has been fighting in the public eye since the marriage collapsed.
