The internet went wild after Regina took to Instagram to accuse Ned Nwoko of allegedly ordering the arrest of her siblings in a bid to “force reconciliation.”
In her words:
“My big brother and big sister have been arrested … until I return and, according to him, return to rehab.”
The actress also hit back at what she described as false accusations of drug abuse, saying she’s been unfairly labelled and emotionally cornered in her marriage.
This revelation came just days after hints of marital strain began to circulate online, with multiple blogs claiming that the once-envied union between the Nollywood star and her politician husband had “hit a rough patch.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Rita Daniels — Regina’s mother — reportedly accused Ned Nwoko of using his influence to intimidate her children and trying to “control every aspect” of her daughter’s life.
Sources close to the family told Gistreel that tension had been brewing for months, with Regina “seeking independence” while balancing motherhood, politics, and fame.
Amid the storm, Regina made a reflective post that got fans emotional.
She wrote:
“In two years, this youngin is gonna be 20 years in the public eye. Truthfully, it’s shocking, tiring, but feels fulfilling. But can someone tell me why I’m thinking of retiring and embracing my glamma era?”
Many fans interpreted this as a cry for peace — a signal that she may be ready to step back from the limelight after years of being in the public eye since childhood.
The news has divided fans:
-
Some are urging Regina to leave the marriage and focus on her wellbeing.
-
Others have defended Ned Nwoko, describing the situation as a “private family matter” that should not be played out on social media.
-
Meanwhile, Nollywood insiders say Regina’s “retirement talk” might actually be a prelude to a rebrand — perhaps moving into production, politics, or advocacy.
As of now, no official police report or legal confirmation has been made public regarding the alleged arrests.
Ned Nwoko has maintained silence, while Regina continues to post cryptic updates hinting at “healing” and “letting go.”
