Senator Ned Nwoko has continued to clarify his side of the ongoing marital dispute with Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, following her recent drug test amid public scrutiny. In a statement released by his team, Nwoko highlighted a WhatsApp message he sent to Regina on October 17, 2025, which he says explains the challenges in their household. The message reads: “I won’t accept your friends coming here at odd hours again. First it was glam on Sunday night. I spoke with two of you to go to sleep at 1am or she should leave. She didn’t do either. It was an all night of noise and music and all that goes with it. By 3am another two friends joined you. They left the following afternoon. Again today, I asked you to go to bed at 3am. You refused. It was the noise of doors downstairs that woke me up. Lo and behold, you and Sonia were heading to your room at exactly 3.30am. You have shown so much disrespect in the past few days. I don’t know who is giving you drugs amongst them and this lifestyle is totally unacceptable and we can’t continue like this. It is either you continue with your therapy or you check into the rehab in Asokoro. My health is deteriorating because of your situation. I am worried about your life and what will happen with the kids. More importantly I won’t fund your lifestyle again until you are fully rehabilitated.” According to Nwoko’s team, the message highlights his concerns over late-night disturbances, alleged substance use, and unsafe behaviour in the household. They insist the message provides a factual account that predates public attention or court proceedings. Key points from the statement include: No domestic violence occurred; accusations arose only after the situation became public. No staff members witnessed abuse, and Regina’s mother reportedly admitted a video alleging violence was a prank. Documented concerns about substance use persisted over several months, with erratic behaviour and unsafe associations affecting the household. Independent toxicology reports confirmed substance use, supporting the concerns outlined in the October message. Professional help was offered repeatedly but resisted. The message reflects a final attempt to insist on therapy or rehabilitation. The well-being of the children and Nwoko’s concern for Regina’s health motivated financial boundaries, which were meant to prevent enabling destructive behaviour. Public claims of victimhood, the statement argues, were used to avoid accountability and evade treatment. The October message stands as a real-time record of concern and insistence on professional help, rather than abuse. The statement follows Regina’s public disclosure of a negative drug test, which she said cleared her name. Nwoko’s team maintained that the test only reflects temporary abstinence and does not negate prior independent assessments. As the dispute continues, both parties remain firm in their accounts, with Nwoko emphasising professional intervention and rehabilitation, while Regina disputes allegations of substance abuse and behavioural misconduct. The matter has drawn widespread attention from family, the public, and the media.

Senator Ned Nwoko has responded to Regina Daniels’ recent post sharing a negative drug test result from abroad, warning that temporary abstinence does not equate to true sobriety. In a statement released by his communication team, Nwoko said: “DON’T BE FOOLED: TEMPORARY ABSTINENCE IS NOT SOBRIETY. Recovery and accountability are not matters for social media posts or public engagement; they require sustained effort, honesty, and professional support.” The statement questioned the circumstances of the recent test, contrasting it with earlier assessments conducted by independent, reputable centres in Nigeria and South Africa, which reportedly documented prior drug and alcohol use. “Presenting a later negative result as proof that no prior use occurred is misleading and disingenuous. At best, it reflects abstinence over a period of time. It does not invalidate earlier medical reports, nor does it negate what necessitated intervention in the first place,” the statement read. Nwoko also addressed attempts to downplay the seriousness of MDMA, saying: “Renaming it does not alter its chemical composition, its risks, or its impact on judgment and stability.” The communication highlighted that the senator had long supported Daniels with structured rehabilitation and professional therapy, noting that temporary or one-off interventions are insufficient. “Long before this matter became public, Senator Ned Nwoko explored every possible avenue to provide support. Denial is never a foundation for sustainable therapy. The first step is to own up to the existing problem,” it added. The statement further emphasised that any drug test, regardless of location, would be scrutinised in court and must be backed by credible, admissible evidence. “It is not time for drama. Any test conducted anywhere in the world will face court scrutiny and should be ready when subpoenaed, to defend results just like the Nigerian and South African labs,” it concluded. This comes amid ongoing public attention on the couple following disputes over alleged substance use and personal issues, with Nwoko calling for accountability, professional support, and focus on reality rather than social media narratives.

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.

Regina Daniels has openly criticized her husband, Ned Nwoko, for sharing their children on social media during their ongoing personal dispute. In a video of herself FaceTiming her kids, Regina expressed how upset she is with the situation, emphasizing that she has not been comfortable with the repeated public exposure of her children. She wrote, “People may believe that I am happy, but no mother can be at peace while separated from her children. I chose not to allow that pain to define or imprison me, which is why it took time for me to walk away.” Regina accused Ned of deliberately seeking attention at the expense of their children, questioning his motives as a public figure. “The repeated public exposure of my children reflects a troubling and deliberate pursuit of negative attention by their father. It is implausible that a public figure, particularly one with legislative experience, would be unaware that posting our children publicly at this time would inevitably attract media scrutiny,” she stated. She continued, “These actions make it reasonable to question whether his behavior is motivated by public engagement rather than parental responsibility. I decided to stay off the matter to avoid causing more nuisance on this media space, but clearly this man keeps acting like a baby. Meaning it’s now safe to call this one-term senator a content creator.” Regina revealed that she last spoke to her children in mid-November and accused Ned of dismissing her nannies and pressuring them to make false claims against her. “The last time I spoke to my kids was mid November. Ned dismissed all my nannies, pressured them into making false statements accusing me of violence and alcohol abuse in front of the children, and has since filed for full custody, despite already having the children in his care,” she wrote. She questioned why she is being treated as a threat while affirming her love and commitment to her children. “I am left to wonder whether I am truly such a threat that I am being challenged so aggressively. I may be young, but I am such a mum. I enjoy being a mum and I miss being a mum. It’s so crazy if their father thinks I won’t come for my children. I will definitely see my kids soon!” Regina’s post has stirred widespread attention online, with many expressing sympathy for her and concern over the public nature of the family conflict.   View this post on Instagram
