“Exactly 5 years ago, on this day, at this exact time, what started like an ordinary day with bright sunshine and a beautiful weather, quickly became a nightmare. And the eventual loss of everything. The whole world is in agreement that fire is the most destructive force of nature. And that’s why most are afraid to die. The fear of hell.

“Even the Almighty God gives us a clue into this, by choosing, when angered, to use water to destroy the world, but he saved the FIRE for the END. Isn’t fire the main character in hell? So I can only imagine how it must feel, what it must feel like, to be one of the victims of the devastating destruction currently occurring in Los Angeles.

“My heart goes out to everyone out there. Please say a prayer for them. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

“I say a big thank you to the men and women of the fire service. The firefighters who put their lives on the line to save ours. The ones who run towards the danger, and run into the scorching flames when everyone else is running in the opposite direction. The ones who, even though might have their own homes and families going through the same thing, are sworn to sacrifice themselves for the good of others. We know that you are giving 1000% of yourselves to contain the fires. We encourage you. Stay strong. Y’all are the real heroes. We salute you . God Bless you.”

Nwoko, Regina Daniels Trade Words Over Drug Allegations, Arrest

Published

on

The senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko, and Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, have exchanged heated words as tensions escalate over their ongoing marital crisis, with allegations involving drug use and harassment.

Nwoko accused Daniels’ brother, Sammy, of harassing his children and domestic staff, claiming he sponsored Sammy’s last two years at the University of Ekpoma, including expenses for musical instruments and an Abuja apartment.

He also revealed that he transferred an estimated ₦125 million to Regina’s mother over the past two years.

“These videos show Sammy, Regina’s brother, repeatedly coming to my home and harassing my children and domestic staff, especially whenever I was not around. His visits were often aggressive and disruptive,” Nwoko wrote on his X handle on Saturday.

He further alleged that Sammy introduced Regina to drugs and sabotaged her rehabilitation.

“In fact, Lawrence and Sammy were the ones who first introduced and supplied these drugs to her. They were deeply involved in the habit themselves, and rather than helping her get better, they kept drawing her back into the same destructive lifestyle,” he stated.

According to the senator, his efforts to help Regina recover led to tensions with her family.

“When Regina started her rehabilitation, the doctors clearly instructed that her enablers should be restricted from access to her.

“Unfortunately, Sammy, Destiny, and some of her friends constantly defied those instructions. They would sneak in and bring her the same drugs she was being treated for,” he explained.

Nwoko also recounted a confrontation where Sammy allegedly came to his residence at 4 a.m., demanding a face-to-face after being asked to remove his girlfriend from the house.

“Just four weeks ago, I woke up around 4 a.m. and realised that Regina was in my room and on the phone. She was clearly high… I told Regina that the girl had to leave, and one of my drivers dropped her off. Thirty minutes later, Sammy came to my house shouting and demanding that I come downstairs to face him.

“I eventually went downstairs and had to instruct the security to physically push him out of my compound. The level of audacity was shocking. Without the influence of drugs, could he have been so bold and disrespectful?” Nwoko recounted.

The senator defended his decision to involve law enforcement, stating that Sammy “now needs professional rehabilitation and guidance rather than sympathy.”

He also denied allegations that anyone was beaten, describing the video he said was staged to discredit him “a pure Nollywood scenario filmed in front of my house, in my absence.”

Reacting to Nwoko’s claims via her Instagram page on Sunday morning, Daniels admitted to past drug use but dismissed her estranged husband’s allegations as exaggerated, manipulative, and designed to tarnish her image.

Ned, how could you lie so openly and without even small remorse? You know my family has absolutely nothing to do with this… and now you are trying to make them look bad for no reason,” she wrote.

She insisted her drug use was not the root of their marital issues:

She added, “Fine, I did drugs. So what? Is that even the issue between us? The moment we had a fight, you rushed to the public, shouting ‘drugs, drugs, drugs,’ because you knew it would make a perfect story for the media — something dramatic enough to distract everyone from the real issue!”

Regina accused Nwoko of isolating her by targeting her friends and family:

You want to find a reason to arrest everyone around me so that I will have no one left beside me… Then, when I’m completely isolated and broken, I will be forced to come back to you because I will have nowhere else to go,” she added.

She further alleged that Nwoko encouraged her drug use for his satisfaction:

You say you want me to go for rehab, but you are the same Ned who always wanted me high because, in your words, I’m ‘sexier’ when I’m high. You liked me that way because it made me wild and romantic exactly how you wanted me to be,” she wrote.

Daniels also accused him of sexual assault, confinement, and medical manipulation, claiming he seized her phones and forced doctors to administer sedative drugs whenever she disagreed.

Why don’t you tell them how you lock me up and have doctors inject me with drugs meant for people with bipolar disorder? You seize my phones for weeks because you hate that I talk to my family a lot,” she added.

Dismissing Nwoko’s claims that her behaviour was incoherent, she said, “You have never seen me act incoherent, stumble, or lose control… Stop using the ‘drugs’ story to create a distraction. Tell people the truth.”

Finally, Regina asserted there was no legal marriage between them and said her time with Nwoko cost her prime years and career opportunities:

“No matter how much you think you spent on me, it can never equal the value of the time I gave you, my prime years, my energy, and the career opportunities I sacrificed while being with you.

“And for the record, I would have filed for divorce long ago if there had ever been a legal marriage between us. We were never married in any court of law… Leave me alone, Ned. Marriage is not by force. Love is not by force,” she said.

The development follows weeks of reports about Daniels’ marital troubles with her husband, whom she accused of domestic violence in an earlier social media post.

Nwoko, however, denied the allegations, blaming her behaviour on alleged drug and alcohol abuse. He stated that Regina’s “current battle with substance abuse” had caused strain in their marriage and insisted she undergo rehabilitation.

Days later, the actress’s brother, Sammy, was arrested in Lagos, later transferred to Abuja, arraigned in court, and remanded pending fulfilment of bail conditions.

Amid the public exchanges, Regina celebrated the reconciliation of her estranged parents, noting that her mother and father, who had been apart for years, reunited in the wake of her personal and family crisis, especially her brother’s arrest.

In a series of emotional videos shared online, the actress confessed to feeling overwhelmed by fear, pressure, and uncertainty surrounding her brother’s safety.

Her outpouring of emotion has sparked widespread concern across social media, with fans, family members, and fellow entertainers calling for Sammy’s release and urging both parties to de-escalate the growing tension.
