Senator Ned Nwoko has broken his silence on the escalating marital crisis with his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels, releasing a detailed statement that paints a picture of a family enabling addiction and actively sabotaging recovery. Following the arrest of Regina's brother, Nwoko has publicly accused her siblings and friends of introducing her to drugs and repeatedly harassing his household.

| Senator Nwoko has released a detailed statement addressing the public controversy. |
The Core Allegations
Nwoko claims the root of the conflict is Regina's "dangerous dependence on illegal substances." He alleges that her brothers, Sammy and Lawrence, were the first to introduce her to drugs. According to the senator, when Regina began a rehabilitation program, her siblings and friends, including actresses Sonia Uche and Uche Montana, "constantly defied" doctors' orders by allegedly sneaking drugs to her. "Instead of helping her recover, they encouraged her addiction and frustrated the doctors," he stated.
The senator accuses Regina's brother, Sammy West, of repeatedly visiting his home to harass his children and staff, particularly in his absence. He recounted a specific incident at 4 a.m. where Sammy allegedly arrived "ranting and threatening, waking everyone, including the children" after his girlfriend was asked to leave the premises. Nwoko stated, "I had to order my security to push him out."
A History of Financial Support
To counter claims of neglect or abuse, Nwoko detailed his extensive financial support for the Daniels family. He stated he sponsored Sammy's final two years at university, furnished a flat for him, and bought a house for Regina in Asaba before their marriage. Most notably, he claimed to have records of transferring ₦125 million to Regina's mother, Rita Daniels, in the last two years alone.
Addressing the Viral Video
Nwoko firmly denies the allegations of physical assault that stemmed from a viral video showing an altercation at his residence. He dismissed the incident as a staged event orchestrated by Regina's family. "Everything that happened that day was in my house, in my absence. Nobody was beaten," he insisted. "The video was filmed entirely in front of my house by Regina’s sister and her friend. It was a pure Nollywood scene."
Mhepo Commentary: A Battle for the Narrative
Senator Ned Nwoko's detailed statement is a calculated move to reclaim control of a narrative that has spiraled into a public relations disaster. By framing the conflict as a battle against addiction, enabled by a manipulative family he has financially supported, he positions himself as a long-suffering victim. This strategy aims to shift public sympathy and discredit Regina's claims of abuse. However, in the court of public opinion, such detailed accusations also risk appearing as an attempt to overpower and silence a younger spouse. This is no longer just a marital dispute; it is a high-stakes war for public perception, where every post, claim, and video is a weapon. The truth remains elusive, caught in the crossfire of two competing and deeply damaging narratives.
