(DDM) – The controversial case involving APC Senator Prince Ned Nwoko has gained international attention after activist and journalist Omoyele Sowore publicly highlighted allegations of child abuse, sexual assault, and drug introduction against the senator.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that Sowore, through his verified social media handles, revealed that Nwoko allegedly married Nollywood actress Regina Daniels when she was only 17 years old, legally a minor under United Kingdom law, where Nwoko is a registered solicitor.
Legal analysts warn that if these claims are verified, any sexual activity following the marriage could constitute statutory rape under British law.
Sowore’s post further accused Senator Nwoko of introducing Daniels to hard drugs while she was still underage and coercing her into repeated sexual relations.
The activist stressed that these allegations are not moral failings but serious criminal offences that demand legal investigation and prosecution.
According to Sowore, it is unacceptable for Nwoko to continue practising law in the United Kingdom while facing such grave allegations.
He urged the Law Society of England and Wales and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to commence disciplinary proceedings before the Independent Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) to determine the senator’s fitness to practise law.
Nwoko, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, has been accused of using political influence, wealth, and connections with security agencies to suppress victims and prevent accountability, according to Sowore.
Activists and human rights groups have echoed these concerns, insisting that no public official should be above the law.
Observers told DDM that the case, now widely trending online, may have both national and international implications. “If these allegations are substantiated, Nwoko’s legal status in the UK and his political career in Nigeria could face serious repercussions,” a legal rights campaigner said.
Sowore’s revelations have reignited public discourse on impunity among Nigerian elites and the protection of minors.
Civil society advocates have called for joint investigations by Nigerian authorities and international legal bodies to ensure that justice is served.
As of publication, Senator Nwoko has not issued any response to the allegations, while Regina Daniels has remained silent.
Meanwhile, Sowore continues to post updates, urging authorities to act decisively and warning that “impunity has an expiry date.”
