Ned Nwoko Details Arrest of Regina Daniels’ Friend Ann, Cites Defamation and Illegal Abortion Allegations

Senator Ned Nwoko has addressed the arrest of Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet, popularly known as Ann, a close friend of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, amid a flurry of online speculation and misinformation. In a statement from his communication team, Nwoko said that many of the narratives circulating on social media about Ann’s arrest are “false, reckless, and deliberately intended to distort the facts.” The statement explained that Ann was arrested on multiple allegations, starting with criminal defamation. She had publicly claimed that Senator Nwoko physically assaulted his wife, Mrs. Laila Nwoko, resulting in a miscarriage — claims the senator insists are completely false. “No such incident occurred, and no miscarriage resulted from any alleged violence,” the statement said, noting that the allegations appeared to be part of a coordinated attempt to reinforce unsubstantiated domestic violence claims. Ann is also accused of involvement in the procurement of an illegal abortion for Regina Daniels during her marriage to Nwoko. According to the statement, she administered controlled substances that caused Regina to bleed for weeks, with the situation described as “gruesome.” The senator’s team added that the matter is on record and has previously been referenced publicly by Regina herself. A formal witness statement, dated October 29, 2025, and submitted to the Area Commander at Maitama Police Station, reportedly details Ann’s repeated involvement in sourcing, handling, and administering illegal substances to Regina and others. It also identifies suppliers and contains corroborative evidence already shared with law enforcement. Nwoko’s team emphasized that Ann’s arrest followed a social media post in which she issued threats, repeated defamatory claims, and made derogatory remarks against the senator and his wife — conduct described as criminally defamatory and provocative. The statement stressed: “This matter is not a social media dispute but a law-enforcement issue grounded in evidence, witness testimonies, and due process. Any attempt to mischaracterise the arrest as suppression or victimisation is false and misleading.” Ann was reportedly arrested in Lagos on January 12, 2026, detained for two nights, and released on January 15, with her case adjourned until March 5, 2026. Nwoko and his family urged the public to rely on verified facts and allow the legal process to run its course. The arrest comes amid a broader ongoing feud between Nwoko and Regina Daniels, which has involved conflicting allegations of abuse, substance use, and legal disputes between the parties.

Regina Daniels Reacts After Friend Ann’s Arrest, Calls Out Ex-Husband Ned Nwoko

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has spoken out after her close friend, Ann, was reportedly arrested, linking the incident to ongoing disputes with her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. On social media, Regina expressed concern for her friend, writing: “My dearest best friend was arrested yesterday. Which makes me wonder: what exactly is the problem with my ex? I hate to believe or further promote the idea of the Nigerian police force’s lack of credibility. I fear for Ann’s safety as all of these are not being done legally.” She questioned how a domestic violence issue escalated into accusations of drug use and now theft, recalling that Ned had previously called Ann “tiny devilish Ann” and accused her of being a drug supplier. Regina suggested the latest allegation was retaliatory after she publicly defended Ann. “How did a case of domestic violence get overshadowed by drug addiction and now theft? Now that I took a bold step to clear that without confronting him, he comes up with theft? You have lived the best part of your life—why do you want mine to revolve around chaos? Sen Ned Nwoko, after eventually beating your theft allegations, what else do you have up your sleeve or your red cap? Does this give you climax?” she wrote. Regina also hinted at her ex-husband’s apparent enjoyment of social media attention, adding: “I can literally write a whole book of his countless frustrations privately and publicly without repeating the same detail because I love writing, but that might just be me playing into his game. It is now clear that he enjoys this social media banter—or should I say entertainment? But to what end, Ned?” Ann’s arrest comes amid a series of public disputes between Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko, including prior allegations of theft and ongoing legal battles that have played out online.

Ned Nwoko Releases October WhatsApp Message, Responds To Regina Daniels’ Allegations

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.

Don’t Be Fooled: Ned Nwoko Reacts to Regina Daniels’ Negative Drug Test, Warns Temporary Abstinence Is Not Sobriety

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.

Regina Daniels Shares Emotional Video As She Undergoes Drug Test

Regina Daniels has shared an emotional video as she underwent a drug test, opening up about the challenges she has faced over the past few months. In her caption, the Nollywood actress described the period as “nothing short of heavy,” a time that tested her deeply but did not break her. She wrote, “Everything I had ever known was drowning right in front of me. But here’s the plot twist. I didn’t drown with it. Why? Because I was carried by the overwhelming love, support, patience, and understanding of my family, friends, and members of the general public. And for that, I am forever grateful.” Regina explained that she decided to take the test for the sake of those who stood by her and to uphold her own integrity and peace of mind. “I owe it to the people who love me, and the people who look up to me. Integrity matters. Accountability matters. Peace of mind especially matters,” she said. Addressing the rumors that labeled her a “drug addict,” she reflected: “I looked at myself in the mirror repeatedly, searching for this so-called addict… People often project their fears, insecurities, and negative thoughts onto others. But projection is not reality, and noise is not truth.” She also emphasized the power of choosing one’s own narrative: “Do you allow yourself to be defined by other people’s opinions, or do you create your own narrative? As for me, I choose the latter every single time. The same mouth that was used to spoil my name is the same mouth that will build it back up.” Regina described this chapter of her life as one of self-discovery and growth. “I’m still standing, still growing, and just getting started. And yes. We move. Happy new year everyone?” Taking this test isn’t just about clearing my name, it’s about giving my children something priceless. So that when they’re old enough, they’ll know their mother was never a drvg add!ct.” — Regina Daniels speaks after undergoing drvgs test at the hospital pic.twitter.com/jgPjQEhqyx — TENIOLA (@Teeniiola) January 7, 2026

Regina Daniels, Brother Sweezzy Unfollow Each Other As Family Tension Deepens

Signs of fresh discord have emerged within Regina Daniels’ family after the Nollywood actress and her brother, Sweezzy, who lives in the UK, stopped following each other on Instagram, sparking widespread speculation online. The move comes at a sensitive time, as Regina remains entangled in a highly publicised separation from her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. The situation appears to involve more than just the two siblings, with checks showing that their brother, Sammy West, has also unfollowed Sweezzy, hinting at a possible internal family disagreement. The development has surprised many fans, especially considering that Sweezzy and their mother, Rita Daniels, were previously very vocal in pushing for Sammy West’s release when he was recently detained. The family tension is unfolding alongside legal issues tied to Sammy West’s arrest on November 6, 2025. He was taken into custody in Lagos before being transferred to Abuja following a petition allegedly filed by Senator Ned Nwoko, which accused him of criminal conspiracy, assault, theft and cyberbullying. He was later granted bail on November 10, set at ₦5 million. The arrest is believed to be connected to the ongoing collapse of Regina Daniels’ marriage. The actress has spoken publicly about a heated custody battle, alleging that Ned Nwoko dismissed her nannies and pressured them to make damaging statements against her. She also claimed that the senator is seeking full custody of their children, even though they are currently in his care. As the dispute continues, the sudden social media unfollowing among Regina Daniels’ siblings has added another layer of drama to an already tense family situation.
