Senator Ned Nwoko has broken his silence following the circulation of a viral video showing his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, in visible distress. The lawmaker attributed her recent actions to what he described as “drug-influenced behaviour” and “unprovoked carnage.”
In a statement accompanied by a short video posted on his Instagram handle @princenednwoko on Sunday, Nwoko alleged that the actress has been battling substance and alcohol abuse, which he said has been at the centre of their marital crisis.
“Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation programme, or I fear for her life and safety,” Nwoko wrote.
The senator claimed that Regina recently went on a violent rampage at their home, allegedly attacking staff and destroying property in his absence.
“She slapped and hit three staff in the past 48 hours and destroyed property, including cars and windows, for no just cause. Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs,” he alleged.

Nwoko said he had offered his wife two rehabilitation options — one in Asokoro and another in Jordan — where she would not have access to drugs. He further accused some of Regina’s associates of worsening the situation.
“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” he alleged.
His comments came hours after PUNCH Online published a report on a viral video showing Regina Daniels in a heated confrontation. In the clip, the actress could be heard saying, “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much.”
Reacting to the incident, Regina’s brother, Ojeogwu Samuel Danhillman, popularly known as Sammy West, accused Nwoko of assaulting his sister and vowed to defend her.
“Anywhere wey man dey beat woman, whether na my sister or not, I go fight with my blood,” he wrote on Instagram.
The exact cause of the altercation remains unclear, as Regina Daniels and her representatives are yet to publicly respond to Nwoko’s allegations.
Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko married in 2019, a union that has often drawn public attention due to their 40-year age gap.
