The ongoing marital drama between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her estranged husband Senator Ned Nwoko has taken a new turn as the actress's brother, Sammy West, has come forward with explosive counter-allegations.
Ned Nwoko's Public Allegations
Senator Ned Nwoko made startling claims about his wife during an event organized by the Kay Hikers Club in Abuja. The lawmaker alleged that Regina Daniels had alcohol and drugs at the same hotel where they were staying and claimed to possess police evidence supporting his assertions.
Nwoko stated during the event: "Regina had drinks and drugs in this particular hotel we are in. We have police evidence. She once used her cars to block a hotel and called me to deploy the Commissioner of Police to the hotel gate so that nobody could leave."
Sammy West's Shocking Response
Sammy West, who recently regained his freedom from detention, responded via Legit.ng's Instagram page with a completely different version of events. According to West, the truth behind the hotel incident involves medical concerns and physical violence.
West revealed that Regina's doctor had visited the hotel because the actress was suffering from swollen legs and buttocks caused by medical treatment arranged by Nwoko himself. He alleged that the senator then traced Regina to the hotel location.
"On the doctor's arrival, her divorced husband traced her to the hotel and beat her up right at the reception of the hotel," West claimed in his social media response.
Aftermath of the Hotel Incident
Sammy West expressed frustration about how the situation was handled by both the hotel security and police personnel present at the scene. He stated that despite the physical assault occurring in public view, Nwoko was allowed to leave freely.
"When we knew of it, before we could rush down, the hotel let the man walk out freely! And with the policemen stationed there, all said it's a husband-and-wife issue," West wrote.
The brother further claimed that when Regina returned home and demanded accountability from the hotel for allowing the assault to occur, Nwoko refused to take action, suggesting he might have been planning the physical confrontation.
Celebrity Reactions and Public Backlash
The controversy has drawn reactions from other Nollywood personalities, including actress Etinosa Idemudia, who publicly criticized Senator Nwoko for repeatedly discussing his marital issues in public forums.
Etinosa questioned the timing of Nwoko's revelations, noting that the country faces numerous serious national issues that deserve more attention than personal marital disputes.
"The more you try to embarrass the mother of your children, the more you embarrass yourself. Don't you know?" the actress stated in her social media post.
The ongoing public exchange between the senator and Regina Daniels' family continues to generate significant attention across Nigerian social media and entertainment circles, with many calling for privacy and amicable resolution of the matter.
