Ned Nwoko Dismisses Regina Daniels’ Claims, Says Court Set Conditions For Access To Children
Senator Ned Nwoko has countered claims circulating on social media from his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels, insisting she was never denied access to their children and that her absence was a voluntary decision.
Nwoko stated that the issue had already been determined by a court, which ordered Daniels to undergo rehabilitation and be evaluated by the Abuja Social Welfare Department as conditions for restoring access to the children.
In a statement posted on his X account on Tuesday by his communications team, the senator accused Daniels of presenting a distorted narrative, saying her online posts do not reflect the family’s long-standing practices. According to the statement, “The recent posts by Regina present a version of events that is both misleading and inconsistent with long-established family practice. Publicly sharing moments involving the children has never been new, unusual, or controversial within the family.”
The statement further rejected suggestions that Daniels had been shut out of the children’s lives, describing such claims as inaccurate. Nwoko maintained that the children have remained in a setting designed to protect their routine, emotional wellbeing, and overall stability.
Emphasising the standard of care expected from any parent, the statement added, “Children deserve a parent who is emotionally present, mentally sound, and sober most of the time. This is not an unreasonable expectation; it is the minimum standard of care any parent owes their children.”
The senator’s remarks came a day after Daniels shared an emotional post describing the pain of being separated from her children. She wrote that no mother could truly be at peace in such a situation and expressed confidence that she would reunite with them soon, stating, “I may be young, but I am such a mum, I enjoy being a mum and I miss being a mum. I will definitely see my kids soon!”
Nwoko also restated the court’s position on the matter, saying the ruling favoured him and came with clear directives for Daniels. “The ruling was resolved in favour of Senator Ned Nwoko, with clear directions that Regina Daniels must undergo drug rehabilitation and be assessed by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before access can be restored to Munir (5) and Khalifa (3), the children of the marriage. The matter has been adjourned to 4 February 2026 for hearing of the substantive suit.”
He cautioned that continued public commentary could further complicate the situation, warning that such actions risk “using the children as emotional shields to deflect from unresolved personal issues.”
Nwoko concluded by urging Daniels to follow the court’s instructions, stressing that the most constructive path forward lies in compliance, healing, and long-term personal wellbeing, rather than fuelling renewed attention online.
