Senator Ned Nwoko, the lawmaker representing Delta North Senatorial District at the national assembly, has said that the current marital crisis between him and his young wife, Regina Daniels, is as a result of her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse.
He said this in a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday.
Though, his push back is coming after Regina Daniels accused him of domestic violence.
In a viral video sighted by Diaspora Digital Media on Saturday, Regina visibly distressed, was seen surrounded by several men allegedly linked to the senator.
She claimed that Nwoko sent the men after a domestic disagreement escalated.
Regina Daniels alleged that Senator Nwoko subjected her to repeated physical abuse and harassment.
However, Senator Ned Nwoke, while dismissing Regina’s claims, accused the Nollywood actress of being the violent one.
He said Regina slapped and attacked 3 staff in the past 48 hours and destroyed property, including cars and windows, for no just cause.
The statement reads: “Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation program, or I fear for her life and safety.
“Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs. I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence. Regina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting 3 staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause.
“The truth is, I have set a clear condition for her to accept rehab in Asokoro or outside Nigeria especially Jordan where she will not have access to drugs. A clear headed regina would have taken moon to the hospital but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse(for exposing her drugs abuse). While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann.”
