The dispute between Nigerian lawmaker, Prince Ned Nwoko, and his actress wife, Regina Daniels, has taken a new dimension following a fresh public statement issued by the senator. The situation, which has dominated social media discussions in recent days, revolves around claims and counter-claims of abuse, manipulation, and personal misconduct between the couple.
Nwoko, who serves as the Senator representing Delta North, released a detailed clarification addressing viral accusations made against him and offering his version of events concerning the tension in his marriage.
Background To The Controversy
Regina Daniels, a popular Nollywood actress and mother of two of Nwoko’s children, has been trending after a widely circulated emotional video showed her distressed and alleging mistreatment within the marriage. The footage sparked intense conversations online, drawing reactions from fans, celebrities, and advocacy groups.
The actress’ supporters claimed she was being suppressed and mistreated. However, Ned Nwoko has now responded with an equally strong position, rejecting the allegations and laying out his own concerns.
Nwoko Addresses Claims Of Violence And Abuse
In his fresh statement, Ned Nwoko firmly denied claims that he instructed security personnel or associates to harass or physically assault Regina Daniels. According to him, the video that showed Regina in distress was recorded at a time he was not even present at his residence.
He insisted that the incident resulted from what he described as interference from Regina’s friends and siblings, who he alleges have been fueling misunderstandings within the marriage.
Nwoko stated that he has never laid a hand on his wife, nor has he endorsed any form of harm against her. Instead, he claimed his major concern has been her well-being and stability, which he emphasized is his priority due to their children.
Allegations Of Substance Abuse Raised
In what has become the most sensitive aspect of his response, Ned Nwoko alleged that Regina has recently struggled with drug and alcohol dependency, which he said led to sudden changes in mood, erratic behaviour, and extended sleeplessness.
He claimed that he made efforts to support her recovery, including seeking professional assistance and encouraging a controlled environment to help her heal. He also alleged that attempts from Regina’s siblings and associates to interfere with this process worsened matters, creating conflict within the home.
While Nwoko did not present medical evidence to support these claims publicly, he maintained that the situation is more complex than what social media conversations portray.
Family Involvement Deepens Tension
Another central point in Nwoko’s statement was the alleged involvement of Regina’s family members, particularly her siblings. He accused them of contributing to the rising tensions by influencing Regina emotionally and undermining efforts to manage the situation discreetly.
He described the interference as “unhealthy and destabilizing,” noting that instead of helping the actress, the external pressure further strained the marriage.
Public Perception And Social Media Reactions
The public has been sharply divided since the latest statement was released.
Many fans have expressed sympathy for Regina Daniels, recalling her young age when she married into a highly public and structured family system. Others argue that the emerging situation demonstrates the pressures and complexities of marriages involving power, wealth, and family influence.
On the other hand, some have sided with Ned Nwoko, noting that the senator rarely speaks publicly about his personal life, and suggesting that his decision to issue a statement may signal genuine concern rather than mere defense.
What This Means Going Forward
As of now, neither Regina Daniels nor her representatives have issued an official follow-up response to Nwoko’s latest claims. However, close observers believe that more clarification may surface soon, given the enormous public attention the issue has attracted.
There is also a possibility that legal measures, family mediation, or formal interventions may come into play as both parties navigate the next steps in their relationship.
