The Senator representing Delta North senatorial district, Ned Nwoko has accused his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, of drug and alcohol abuse.
His accusation follows a viral video showing her in distress and alleging violence in their marriage.
In a lengthy post shared on his Instagram handle, @princenednwoko, on Sunday, the lawmaker described the actress’s recent actions as “drug-influenced” and “unprovoked carnage,” claiming her substance use was the root cause of their marital crisis.
“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 the senator, Regina allegedly went on a violent rampage at their residence in his absence, attacking domestic staff and destroying 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 alleged.

Nwoko further claimed he had offered his wife two rehabilitation options one in Asokoro, Abuja, and another abroad in Jordan where she would not have access to drugs.
He also accused Regina’s close associates of worsening the situation by supplying her with narcotics.
“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” he wrote.
His comments came hours after a video of Regina Daniels in an apparent confrontation had gone viral on social media on Saturday. In the clip, the actress, visibly agitated, was heard shouting, “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much.”
Reacting to the video, her brother, Ojeogwu Samuel Danhillman, popularly known as Sammy West, accused Nwoko of assaulting his sister and vowed to defend her.

“Anywhere wey man dey beat woman, whether na my sister or not, I go fight with my blood,” he wrote on Instagram.
As of press time, neither Regina Daniels nor her representatives have responded to the allegations.
The couple, who married in 2019 despite a 40-year age gap, have frequently been in the public eye, with their relationship drawing both admiration and controversy over the years.
The unfolding events have sparked widespread reactions on social media, with fans expressing concern for the actress’s wellbeing and calling for restraint on both sides.
