Regina Must Go For Rehab… I Want Her Alive, Healthy To Raise Our Kids – Ned Nwoko
Ned Nwoko, senator representing Delta north, says his wife actress Regina Daniels must undergo rehabilitation to address drug abuse and safeguard her well-being.
Speaking in an interview with NAN on Sunday, Nwoko said the decision was necessary for the 25-year-old actress to be in the right state of mind to raise their two children.
The lawmaker said his stance followed a series of “alarming” toxicology reports indicating “high levels of harmful substances in Daniels’ system”.
According to Nwoko, his wife’s calm personality had changed in recent months, as she began exhibiting “violent and destructive behaviour” alongside recurring health crises.
“I want her alive and healthy, not just for me, but for our children,” he said.
“We have two young kids together, and they cannot fight for themselves, so I’m going to fight for them by safeguarding their mother.
“Many people have died of drug overdose, and if anything happens to her now, what will I tell her children tomorrow?
“I have lived with this problem for eight months, and on three occasions, I had to carry her to Nizamiye Hospital unconscious from a drug overdose — you can go verify it.”
Nwoko said he wanted Daniels to raise their children in “a sane and healthy environment”, adding that rehabilitation would prevent her from accessing drugs while she completes her treatment.
The senator also presented toxicology results of the actress, insisting that anyone discouraging her from seeking proper medical care was “her real enemy and that of her children”.
He said the reports showed several substances with toxic levels, dismissing recent statements by Regina’s mother and siblings on the drug abuse allegations as “baseless distractions”.
“That is why I am saying that everybody has to calm down and join hands to save her,” he said.
“But she and her mother are living in denial. If they really want to prove me wrong, let them arrange for her to visit any toxicologist of their choice — I will pay.”
Nwoko also alleged that Daniels’ close friends and siblings, particularly her brother Sammy influenced her and enabled her access to drugs.
“Her close relations and friends that I trusted around her are the ones exploiting her resources to supply her with drugs, leaving her addicted,” he said.
“Imagine the pain of a husband trying to help his wife recover from an addiction, only to have the process sabotaged by her siblings and friends. Each time progress was made, they would undo it by smuggling in the same drugs she was fighting to give up.”
The senator criticised a recent social media post by Daniels’ mother Rita, alleging that his son died from a drug overdose in the United Kingdom, describing the claim as “an inhuman attack on the dead”.
He said autopsy results did not show drug-related complications as the cause of death.
The couple’s marital crisis has been ongoing since October, when a viral video showed Daniels in tears, accusing Nwoko of domestic violence.
The senator responded by alleging his wife was struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
Earlier today, Daniels admitted to using hard drugs but accused Nwoko of orchestrating her addiction as part of a pattern of control and manipulation.
She also alleged that the lawmaker is in possession of her private sex tape.
