Senator Ned Nwoko’s Moroccan wife, Laila Charani, has accused her co-wife, Regina Daniels, of introducing her to illicit drugs.

She made the allegation in a recent post on Instagram after Daniels claimed that her husband’s other wives were also into drugs.

Charani claimed that it was her husband’s quick intervention that saved her from losing her marriage after Regina Daniels introduced her to drug addiction.

She also claimed that the only reason Regina Daniels is fighting with their husband is because he wants her to stop drug and alcohol addiction, stressing that the lawmaker doesn’t smoke nor take alcohol.

Charani further accused Regina Daniels of lesbianism, claiming that she sleeps with girls.

“You know too well that I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs 6 years ago and it was my husband’s quick insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path.

“You have been a bad influence since you married into this beautiful family giving drugs to nannies and our workers, including your younger sister Destiny.

“You infested everyone with your virus and this is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you,” she wrote.

Charani urged Regina Daniels to seek psychological help and leave Ned Nwoko’s other wives out the her scandal with their husband.

Regina Daniels is yet to react to Charani’s allegations.

Burna Boy Kicks Couple Out Of Concert For Sleeping During His Performance [VIDEO]

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has sparked controversy after he ordered a couple out of his concert in Denver, United States, on Wednesday night, for allegedly sleeping midway into his performance.

The drama began when the singer paused his set and asked a male fan to take his girlfriend “home” for sleeping during his performance.

“When I stand up here [on the stage] and see you over there with your girl sleeping in the front of me, it pisses me the f**k up. So, please, take her the f**k home… Walahi I’m not performing another song till you go home,” Burna Boy fumed.

At first, the couple, especially the lady, was reluctant, but eventually left after the crowd started demanding they leave as Burna Boy vowed not to perform another song until their exit.

Burna Boy resumed his performance after the couple left the concert.

His action has sparked mixed reactions, with many berating him for kicking ticket holders out of his concert.

Recall that Burna Boy previously made similar headlines after he kicked a starstruck male fan who stormed the stage to hug him while he was performing.

He also once asked a fan to leave his concert for not dancing while he was performing.

The singer has earned a reputation for controversially kicking fans out of his concert for trivial reasons.
