Sowore Disputes Ned Nwoko’s Claim, Says Regina Daniels Was Minor When They Married
Omoyele Sowore has challenged Senator Ned Nwoko’s claim that Regina Daniels was 21 at the time of their marriage, insisting she was underage. He shared a copy of what he says is Daniels’ international passport, which is based on her official birth certificate, as proof.
Sowore wrote:
“We have obtained a copy from Regina Daniels’s international passport, which was issued based on her birth certificate. She was underage at the time of her marriage to Chinedu @Senator Prince Ned Nwoko.
It’s crucial to question INEC Nigeria about this discrepancy, as he is currently using an @INECNigeris voters card to assert her age. The process for obtaining a voters card may not involve the strict verification required for an international passport, which relies on a birth certificate and other legitimate identification. The All Progressives Congress Senator knew this, which is why he never traveled with @Regina Daniels to Europe or America.”
Sowore also called for accountability, suggesting that Nwoko’s actions could amount to crimes against a minor and abuse of power.
Nwoko, however, has denied the allegations, stating that Daniels was 19 at the time of their marriage, not 17. He described claims to the contrary as false and misleading.
The dispute has sparked public debate over age, consent, and the legality of the marriage, intensified by the high profiles of both parties and the conflicting evidence presented.
