Sowore Demands Release of Regina Daniels’ Brother Following Arrest

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has condemned the arrest and detention of Samuel Ojeogwu, popularly known as Sammy West, the younger brother of actress Regina Daniels. Sammy West was reportedly arrested in Lagos on November 4 by security operatives allegedly linked to Senator Ned Nwoko. He was later transferred to Abuja and arraigned before a Dutse Magistrate Court on November 6 without legal representation. The court subsequently ordered his detention at Keffi Prison in Nasarawa State until November 28. Family members allege that Sammy was denied access to a lawyer and kept incommunicado, claiming the arrest is connected to an ongoing personal dispute between Nwoko and Daniels. Regina Daniels had previously expressed concern over her brother’s whereabouts, while her siblings, Lawrence and Sweezzy, accused Nwoko of using his political influence to orchestrate the detention. Sowore described the incident as an abuse of power and called for Sammy’s immediate release. In a Facebook post, he wrote: “I have been informed that Senator Ned Nwoko, in collusion with the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has unjustly imprisoned Samuel Ojeogwu, aka Sammy West, the younger brother of Nwoko’s now-estranged wife, Regina Daniels. “It is deeply troubling that this unholy alliance of impunity between Senator Nwoko, certain police officials, and some compliant magistrates continues unchecked. I call on the authorities to end this injustice immediately and release Sammy West by withdrawing the fabricated charges against him.”

Regina Daniels Breaks Down In Tears, Says She’ll Return To Ned Nwoko If It Secures Brother’s Release

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has broken down in tears over the prolonged detention of her brother, Samuel “Sammy West” Daniels, who remains in police custody under what she described as unfair and inhumane circumstances. In an emotional Instagram video on Friday, the actress said she was mentally and emotionally exhausted, revealing that she would consider returning to her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, if that was the only way to secure her brother’s release. Regina had earlier accused Nwoko, who represents Delta North in the Senate, of being behind Sammy West’s arrest. The lawmaker has yet to publicly address the allegation, even as calls grow from her siblings and fans demanding the young man’s freedom. According to her brother, Sweezzy, who posted an update on Thursday, Sammy West was brought before a court and subsequently remanded in Suleja Prison, Niger State. Speaking through tears, Regina lamented, “I’ve tried everything, but nothing is working. I feel like I’m losing my mind. Every day I wake up to one bad news or another about my brother. One moment they say he’s being released, the next, it’s something else. I’m tired. I’ll go back if that’s what it takes.” In another post, she expressed anger toward the authorities and accused the police of bias. “Fighting for his baby sister because her in-laws used to beat her up — that’s his only crime. I respected the police, but shame on you all. The highest bidder always wins. Maybe I should return to Ned, do whatever he wants, get drugged and treated like a puppet — maybe then my brother will be free,” she wrote. Regina ended her message with a chilling statement: “By law, there’s no valid case against Sammy. Ned Nwoko is bigger than the system — that’s the reality. I’ve lost.” Regina Daniels intends to go back to Pa Ned…to continue the marriage that she s already tired of or to do What? pic.twitter.com/HkREvxbysl — Chidi ❤️ (@realchidi24) November 7, 2025

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.
