Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels
Delta North, Senator Ned Nwoko, has declared that he will not take back his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, amid ongoing controversy surrounding their separation.
In a detailed statement posted on Instagram on Tuesday, the lawmaker addressed circulating rumours, insisting that he has not communicated with Regina and has no intention of reconciling with her. He emphasised that his only concern is that she undergo professional therapy.
Nwoko shared screenshots of what he said was their final WhatsApp conversation, dated 17 October, explaining that he released the message to clarify events and to show the ultimatum he issued about her undergoing rehabilitation.
According to the senator, Regina has been battling the influence of hard drugs, which he claims has resulted in violent and irrational behaviour over time. He said this, and not marital conflict, led to their separation.
“Senator Ned Nwoko is not chatting with Regina and does not want her back in the house. All he is insisting on is that she should be encouraged to go to therapy,” the statement said.
The statement also dismissed Regina’s recent allegations of drug misuse and sexual misconduct on his part, describing them as products of her imagination that cannot be proven.
