Senator Ned Nwoko has responded after a man who earlier accused him of plotting to kill his wife, actress Regina Daniels, surfaced in a new video begging for forgiveness and admitting that the claim was false. The original allegation, which spread rapidly on TikTok, had sparked controversy after the man claimed he was promised N5 million to carry out the act. Days later, the same individual appeared in a fresh clip shared by the senator, apologising and confessing that he makes up stories online for attention. Reacting, Nwoko used the incident to raise alarm over what he described as the dangerous state of Nigeria’s social media space. “The accompanying video, trended a couple of days ago. It is testament to the fact that Nigerian social media space has become one of the most unregulated in the world. Laying very serious allegations have become a common trait to attract millions of views without recourse to the damaging effects on the people involved.” He warned that the lack of consequences for online falsehood encourages people to fabricate damaging stories simply to trend. “This case and many others has now clearly justified the urgent need for the social media bill in the National Assembly. You can’t lie to make money and turn around to apologize after criminally defaming and hurting people.” The senator also took aim at social media companies, insisting they should be legally compelled to operate offices in Nigeria and be held accountable for content shared on their platforms. “It is time for social media companies to be mandated to open offices in Nigeria and to take responsibility for what they allow on their platforms. If landlords are being threatened with punishments for actions of their tenants who are yahoo boys, what stops social media companies from being held responsible for allowing defamatory contents in their platforms.” He further questioned why foreign tech firms enjoy what he described as regulatory freedom while Nigerian media organisations face strict defamation laws. “All our local media houses comply with laws concerning defamation. Why make an exception for foreign companies who don’t pay taxes and ultimately avoid all manner of liabilities because of the absence of regulations.” Nwoko concluded by calling on Nigerians to support his proposed social media regulation bill, noting that it would create jobs, improve tax revenue, make litigation easier, help in tracking criminals, and ensure that national data remains within the country. “It’s Senator Ned today, who knows who is next?” The accompaning video, trended a couple of days ago.

Senator Ned Nwoko has finally addressed the viral allegation that accused him of allegedly offering ₦5 million to facilitate the killing of his wife, Regina Daniels, describing the claim as malicious, coordinated and legally actionable. In a detailed statement released through his communications team on his official X account, the senator condemned what he called a renewed wave of online harassment, cyberstalking and defamatory publications targeted at him. “Our attention has been drawn to a renewed pattern of online harassment, cyber stalking and coordinated defamatory videos and publications targeted at Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko. These actions appear calculated to create a false narrative of persecution in order to serve ulterior motives.” The statement made it clear that Nwoko remains focused on his public and private responsibilities and has no interest in being dragged into online controversies. However, the team emphasized that allegations as serious as the viral claim must be tackled strictly through legal channels. “Senator Ned is fully engaged in his legislative, developmental and business responsibilities and maintains no interest whatsoever in online distractions or fabricated drama. However, when grave allegations are made, they must be addressed in accordance with the law, not through misinformation or emotional manipulation.” The statement also criticised what it described as a growing social culture of protecting wrongdoing and exploiting public sympathy, warning that such behaviour poses a serious threat to societal values. “We must caution the public that the growing culture of supporting deviant conduct, shielding wrongdoers and attempting to weaponize public sympathy is damaging to our national values. Today, falsehood may be deployed against one individual; tomorrow, it may be directed at anyone.” Following the viral video, the senator has directed his legal team to file formal petitions with top security agencies including the Inspector General of Police, the Director-General of the Department of State Services, and the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Cyber Crime Unit. The aim is to track digital evidence, identify those responsible and ensure they face prosecution. “Accordingly, Senator Ned has instructed his lawyer to file a petition… to investigate and prosecute those responsible for ongoing cyber harassment and criminal defamation. The relevant digital footprints will be traced and lawful action will be pursued.” The statement also took an unusual international turn by urging the United States and United Kingdom authorities to disregard any attempts to manufacture family crisis for personal gain, particularly if such narratives are being used to seek asylum under questionable grounds. “Attempts to stage artificial drama around a stable family structure for the purpose of gaining undue advantage are unacceptable. If any frivolous grounds are being put forward to seek asylum, such manoeuvres should be discountenanced.” Nigerians were advised to ignore the circulating allegations and allow security agencies to fully investigate the matter. “Nigerians are encouraged to disregard the false narratives being circulated and allow proper legal processes to proceed. The Senator remains focused on his work and continues to uphold dignity, responsibility and due process.” The viral allegation had triggered intense reactions online after an unidentified individual claimed he was offered ₦5 million to carry out the act but declined. With legal action now activated, attention has shifted from social media debates to formal investigation by security agencies.

A disturbing claim has surfaced online involving Nigerian billionaire and politician, Senator Ned Nwoko, after a young man accused him of attempting to orchestrate an attack on his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels. In a video that has since gone viral, the man alleged that he and others were promised N5 million to carry out the act. He further claimed that they were given details about Regina Daniels’ movements and whereabouts, but declined to follow through. “Ned Nwoko told us to go and kill Regina Daniels, gave us her location and the time she was going to move, but we refused to do it, because… I cannot do it.” The video has triggered massive reactions across social media, with users expressing shock, disbelief, and concern over the gravity of the accusation.

As of now, Senator Ned Nwoko has not issued any public statement addressing the allegation, and there is no independent confirmation verifying the authenticity of the claims.
