Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has launched fresh and serious allegations against her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, centering on a bitter custody dispute over their two children. The actress, currently in London, shared an emotional video over the weekend, revealing gifts for her kids and making explosive claims about Nwoko's intentions.
Emotional Plea and Allegations of a Custody Grab
In a heartfelt social media post made on December 16, 2025, Regina Daniels displayed a box filled with items she purchased for her children. She directly addressed a recent video shared by Ned Nwoko, which showed a family outing playing lawn tennis. In that clip, Nwoko's other wife, Laila Charani, was seen caring for Regina's children.
Daniels interpreted this public display as a "troubling and deliberate attempt" by Nwoko to seek negative attention. She expressed profound unhappiness, stating that no mother could be at peace while separated from her kids. The actress escalated her claims by alleging that Ned Nwoko has dismissed all the nannies who worked for their children and pressured them to make false statements.
She accused him of instructing the nannies to claim she is violent and abuses alcohol in the presence of the children. Most critically, Daniels stated that despite the children currently being in his care, Nwoko is actively seeking full custody of them.
A Mother's Vow and a Child's Heartbreaking Words
Regina Daniels vowed to fight relentlessly for her children. She explained that she had tried to avoid airing their marital issues online but felt compelled to respond due to what she described as Nwoko's immature behavior. The actress revealed that the last time she spoke to her sons was in mid-November, and she promised to see them soon.
The emotional core of her post was a video message for her children. In the clip, the kids were visibly upset and crying. The younger child was heard pleading, "Mama, come back. Take care of us and yourself," while resisting comfort from the nannies. He also expressed a strong desire to go and see his mother, a moment that moved many fans to tears.
Public Reaction and Past Praise
Fans quickly flooded the comment section with messages of support for the actress. User @iamphionakatz noted the child's poignant words, writing, "He said, 'mama take care of us and yourself.'... You can’t separate a good mother from her kids." Others, like @alphaakonah, shared how touching the video was, while @blezgee criticized Ned Nwoko for "flaunting those kids on the Internet" and starving them of their mother's presence.
This current conflict stands in stark contrast to a recent public display of unity. Legit.ng had previously reported that Ned Nwoko publicly praised Regina Daniels for her support when he was unwell before they attended an Anioma community event together. The sudden shift from public appreciation to a fierce custody battle has captivated the attention of Nollywood followers and the Nigerian public.
Concluding her post, Regina Daniels reaffirmed her love for motherhood, stating that she misses the experience dearly. The situation remains developing, with the actress determined to challenge her ex-husband's actions in the ongoing and very public dispute over their children's welfare.
