Internal friction appears to be brewing within Regina Daniels’ family as the Nollywood actress and her UK-based brother, Sweezzy, have quietly unfollowed each other on Instagram. The move has fueled intense speculation regarding a deeper rift within the household during an already turbulent period.
Observers have also noted that another sibling, Sammy West, has similarly unfollowed Sweezzy, suggesting that the disagreement may involve multiple members of the family rather than just the actress and her brother.
A Sudden Shift in Support
The social media fallout has puzzled many fans, especially given the family’s recent display of unity. Both Sweezzy and their mother, Rita Daniels, were previously very vocal in their support for Sammy West during his recent legal troubles, repeatedly taking to social media to demand his release and decry his treatment.
Background: The Sammy West Arrest
The current strain is closely linked to the events of November 6, 2025, when Sammy West was apprehended in Lagos and subsequently moved to Abuja. His arrest followed a petition allegedly submitted by Regina’s estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, which leveled several serious accusations against him, including:
- Criminal Conspiracy
- Assault
- Theft
- Cyberbullying
Sammy West was eventually granted bail on November 10, with the court setting his conditions at ₦5 million.
Marital and Custody Battles
The arrest is widely viewed as a byproduct of the high-profile breakdown of Regina Daniels’ marriage to the Delta North senator. The actress has publicly described the situation as a “vicious cycle,” alleging that Nwoko has taken extreme measures to control the narrative and the future of their children.
Regina has recently shared details of an intense custody dispute, claiming that:
- The Senator allegedly dismissed her domestic staff.
- Staff members were reportedly pressured to provide false testimonies against her.
- Nwoko is seeking full custody of their children, who are currently residing with him.
As the personal and legal battles between the actress and the politician continue to play out in the public eye, the sudden disconnect among the Daniels siblings adds a new layer of complexity to a saga that has dominated Nigerian entertainment headlines for months.
