Regina Daniels’ mother reacted strongly to the arrest of two of her children — the actress’s older brother and sister — by billionaire and senator Ned Nwoko. In a video that went viral, Rita Daniels directly attacked her ex-son-in-law, accusing him of using Regina’s fame to climb politically before publicly belittling her.
“You wanted someone famous to boost your career. I stayed silent and covered for you. You’ll regret it. Regina gave you $50,000 to support your campaign and now you go on social media to insult her just to make her feel bad. I also supported you financially and materially. You’re crazy,” she said angrily.
A couple under severe strain
The couple formed by Regina Daniels, 25, and Ned Nwoko, more than 40 years her senior, has been going through a serious crisis for several weeks. A video showing the actress in distress, in tears and saying she wanted to leave the marital home sparked a firestorm.
There she denounces domestic violence and a lack of affection. “I can’t take all this violence anymore,” she confided. The young woman expressed her desire to return to live with her mother, “where I’m treated like a queen.”
According to several sources, the senator allegedly sent his henchmen to “correct” his wife after a dispute. This act provoked public outrage and the intervention of the Daniels family. The video circulated across social networks, where she can be seen resisting her husband’s henchmen.
Ned Nwoko cites his wife’s “drug addiction”
Facing the media onslaught, Ned Nwoko published a lengthy statement on his X account to defend himself. The senator asserts that the crisis within his household is not related to domestic violence, but to his wife’s “dependence” on drugs and alcohol.
