Sammy West, Regina Daniels’ Brother, Remanded In Keffi Prison Amid Family Outrage
Sammy West, brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has been remanded in Keffi Prison after his first court appearance since his arrest. His elder brother, Lawrence Daniels, shared the update online, expressing outrage at the way the case is being handled. “Dutse Magistrate has suddenly disappeared. Ned, you can pay everybody, but you can’t pay for integrity! Sammy is in prison. Everyone, please ask Ned what Sammy’s offense is. My lawyers are on the way, but I wasn’t allowed to call anyone. The judge ordered he be remanded until bail could be filed, but the magistrate disappeared, and no one was available to sign. You still want him to test the prison? Ned, the most powerful man in the universe, you still can’t outdo integrity,” Lawrence wrote. Reports indicate Sammy was transferred from Lagos to Abuja on November 3, 2025. His family says they have been denied access and remain unaware of the charges against him. Actress Mercy Johnson criticized the handling of the arrest, writing: “The worst form of injustice is pretended justice. A child was arrested, no one could see him for two days, he was flown from Lagos to Abuja, and allegedly taken straight to court from the airport.” The exact offense for which Sammy is being held has not yet been disclosed.
