Story Highlights
Senator Ned Nwoko released a private WhatsApp message on January 11, 2026, dating back to October 17, 2025, in which he accused Regina Daniels of chronic substance abuse. The Delta North lawmaker claims the actress rejected his offers for rehabilitation and instead staged domestic violence allegations to gain public sympathy and distract from independent toxicology reports confirming her drug use.
Senator Ned Nwoko has escalated his public dispute with estranged wife Regina Daniels by releasing what he describes as undeniable evidence of the root cause of their marital breakdown.
The lawmaker’s media team published a statement on January 12, 2026, featuring a screenshot of a WhatsApp message sent to the actress in October 2025.
In the text, Nwoko confronts Daniels about her late-night habits and alleged drug use.
The message details a specific incident where the Senator claims he was woken at 3:00 AM by noise, only to find Daniels and a friend, Sonia, awake.
He writes, “It is either you continue with your therapy or you check into the rehab in Asokoro,” citing fears for his health and the safety of their children.
Notably, this release follows weeks of public exchanges where the politician responds to Regina Daniels insists court ruled in his favour regarding custody and conduct.
Allegations of a “convenient storyline”
The accompanying statement firmly denies any instance of domestic violence within the marriage.
Nwoko’s team argues that the abuse accusations were a calculated strategy to avoid accountability for “eight months of persistent drug and alcohol abuse.”
They describe the violence claims as a “convenient storyline” that surfaced only after the family attempted to intervene in her lifestyle.
According to the statement, independent toxicology reports confirmed the presence of multiple substances in her system at the time.
This assertion directly challenges the narrative from earlier this month, where Regina Daniels takes drug test to debunk addiction rumours admits past ecstasy use in a bid to clear her name.
A breakdown of trust
The document further alleges that Regina’s own mother admitted a video depicting violence was merely a “prank.”
Nwoko insists his October message stands as a “factual anchor” written in real-time before lawyers and public relations teams got involved.
He claims financial boundaries were introduced not as punishment, but to stop enabling a destructive lifestyle.
The statement concludes with a vow to address all issues raised by the actress, including her claims regarding age and infidelity.
This latest development suggests the high-profile separation is far from a resolution, with both parties now trading sensitive private data to sway public opinion.
