Senator Ned Nwoko has issued a fresh clarification regarding his ongoing marital crisis with Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. In a statement released by his media team, the lawmaker provided a private WhatsApp message dated October 17, 2025, which he claims serves as a factual record of the issues that led to the breakdown of their household.
The released message offers a rare window into the tensions surrounding late-night associations and alleged substance abuse that predated the public fallout.
The October 17th Message
The WhatsApp message sent by Nwoko to Regina outlines his frustrations with the actress’s lifestyle and associations at the time:
“I won’t accept your friends coming here at odd hours again… It was an all night of noise and music and all that goes with it. By 3am another two friends joined you… 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… 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.”
Key Points from Nwoko’s Defense
According to the Senator’s team, this documentation addresses several of the most contentious claims made by the actress in recent weeks:
- Denial of Domestic Violence: The team asserts that allegations of physical abuse only surfaced after the dispute became public. They claim that Regina’s mother previously admitted a video suggesting violence was a “prank,” and that no domestic staff have corroborated abuse claims.
- Substance Use Concerns: The statement maintains that independent toxicology reports confirmed substance use, which the October message reflects as a long-standing concern rather than a recent fabrication.
- The Negative Drug Test: Responding to Regina’s recently shared negative drug test from the UK, Nwoko’s team argued that the results reflect “temporary abstinence” and do not invalidate earlier independent assessments conducted during the height of the crisis.
- Financial Boundaries: The Senator clarified that his decision to “set financial boundaries” was a protective measure centered on the welfare of their children and Regina’s personal health.
- Rehabilitation vs. Victimhood: Nwoko’s team argues that the actress has adopted a “public victimhood” narrative to avoid accountability and the professional help (rehabilitation) that the Senator had been insisting upon since late 2025.
A Firm Stance
The statement emphasizes that the October 17th message stands as a “factual record” that predates court proceedings or public pressure, proving that the Senator’s primary concern was for his wife’s health and the stability of their home.
As both parties remain firm in their respective narratives—with the Senator emphasizing professional intervention and the actress disputing claims of behavioral issues—the saga continues to attract intense scrutiny from family members and the Nigerian public.
