Senator Ned Nwoko has finally addressed the growing rift between him and his actress wife, Regina Daniels, following the arrest of her brother, Samuel Daniels, popularly known as Sammy West.
In a lengthy statement released on Sunday, the lawmaker accused Regina’s family and friends of worsening her alleged battle with drug addiction.
According to Nwoko, Regina’s siblings and close friends have been sabotaging her recovery process despite repeated medical warnings.
“These are the same people her doctors told her to avoid. They sneak into the house with the same drugs she’s being treated for,” he said.
Nwoko alleged that Regina’s brothers, Sammy and Lawrence, first introduced her to drugs, claiming that both were users themselves.
He said Sammy frequently caused chaos at his Abuja residence by harassing staff and even his children. “He would storm the house shouting, insulting everyone, especially when I wasn’t around,” Nwoko said.
The senator revealed that he had once been generous to the Daniels family, sponsoring Sammy’s university education and supporting them financially.
“I sponsored him through his final two years at the University of Ekpoma,” Nwoko said. “I also rented and furnished his apartment in Abuja and routinely provided allowances to all family members. In the last two years alone, I transferred ₦125 million to them.”
He said Regina’s mother, Rita Daniels, also received financial support from him. “Before our marriage, I bought Regina a house in Asaba. I’ve done my best for that family,” he added.
The senator accused Regina’s siblings and friends, including Destiny and Sonia Uche Montana, of defying doctors’ orders and enabling her addiction.
“They forced their way into the house at odd hours, bringing in the same substances. Instead of helping her heal, they worsened her condition,” Nwoko claimed.
Nwoko recounted a tense confrontation with Sammy after he asked Sammy’s girlfriend to leave his home. “At 4 a.m., I found Regina high and on the phone. She told me Sammy’s girlfriend was in her room. When I asked my driver to drop her off, Sammy came in raging, waking everyone. I had to order security to escort him out,” he said.
He also alleged that the viral video showing a family altercation at his residence was a “staged Nollywood scene” recorded in his absence. “Nobody was beaten. Everything happened in front of my house. It was all acting,” he insisted.
Nwoko said he had even given $75,000 to Lawrence, Regina’s brother, to pursue a master’s degree in London. However, he claimed Sammy rejected similar opportunities and instead chose to live recklessly.
“Sammy has been arrested several times by the police and EFCC. What he needs is total rehabilitation,” Nwoko said.
The statement comes amid social media uproar over Regina’s family accusing the senator of sending thugs to assault her an allegation he strongly denies.
While neither Regina Daniels nor her family has officially responded to the new claims, fans have flooded social media with mixed reactions, with some calling for privacy and others demanding evidence.
