Senator Ned Nwoko has spoken out for the first time following a viral video that showed his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, in tears and alleging domestic violence. The senator has dismissed the claims, describing Regina’s recent behaviour as a result of drug and alcohol abuse, which he says has caused “unprovoked carnage” in their home.
In a lengthy Instagram post shared on his handle @princenednwoko on Sunday, the lawmaker alleged that Regina was battling addiction issues and needed urgent rehabilitation.
“Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation programme, or I fear for her life and safety,” Nwoko wrote.
According to him, Regina allegedly went on a violent rampage while he was away, attacking domestic staff and damaging property.
“She slapped and hit three staff in the past 48 hours and destroyed property, including cars and windows, for no just cause. Now, she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs,” he claimed.
Nwoko further stated that he had suggested two rehabilitation options for her — one in Asokoro, Abuja, and another in Jordan — to help her recover in a controlled environment.
The senator also accused some of Regina’s close friends of worsening her situation by allegedly supplying her with drugs.
“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orch
estrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” he alleged.
His statement comes hours after videos of a tearful Regina Daniels went viral on Saturday, sparking widespread concern among fans. In the footage, the actress was heard crying and saying, “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a queen. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much.”
Following the video, her brother Ojeogwu Samuel Danhillman, better known as Sammy West, took to Instagram to defend his sister, accusing Nwoko of assault and vowing to protect her.
“Anywhere wey man dey beat woman, whether na my sister or not, I go fight with my blood,” he wrote.

As of now, Regina Daniels has not publicly responded to her husband’s allegations, and the full circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
Regina, who married Ned Nwoko in 2019, has frequently been in the spotlight due to the couple’s 40-year age gap and their lavish lifestyle. Their marriage has often sparked mixed reactions — from admiration to criticism — but this latest controversy marks the most serious public dispute between them yet.
