Nigerian senator Ned Nwoko has issued a statement addressing the controversial situation involving his marriage to actress Regina Daniels.
It’s important to note that many of the claims remain allegations, and no formal legal adjudication is publicly confirmed at this time.
Ned Nwoko’s public statement (shared via his social-media channels) makes the following core assertions:
He frames his wife’s behaviour as being rooted in “drugs and alcohol abuse”, describing it as “the root of our problem.”
He claims that Regina Daniels has in recent days allegedly “slapped and hit three staff” and destroyed property (cars, windows) without provocation.
He says he set a condition for her to accept a rehabilitation programme (in Asokoro or abroad, e.g., Jordan) to remove her access to drugs.
He counters the narrative that he is the aggressor, stating that he has “other wives” and none have accused him of violence—thus suggesting the narratives of abuse against him are inaccurate.
His post was made public on what appears to be his official X (formerly Twitter) account, though many outlets show he also leveraged his Instagram presence to inform the public.

What began as allegations of domestic violence (with Regina Daniels appearing in a viral video saying she could no longer “stand the violence”) is now being responded to with a very different version of events from Ned Nwoko’s perspective.
The introduction of substance-abuse claims complicates the story and suggests the conflict may be multidimensional (marital, health, power dynamics) rather than simply one party as “victim” and the other as “perpetrator.”
Because both individuals are high profile, the story is playing out in full public view—social media, news outlets, and entertainment commentary.
That means reputational impacts (for both) are immediate.
While the statement is detailed, it remains one side of the story. The original allegations by Regina Daniels and her family are not yet legally validated (or publicly resolved).
