Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has accused her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, of using her past struggles against her, asserting that the allegations are a form of control and manipulation. This response comes after Nwoko alleged that a “syndicate of pull-down-Ned” group is exploiting their marital issues to damage his reputation.
In a statement from his office, Nwoko described the situation as a “coordinated gang-up,” claiming he has been targeted for years. He emphasized that discussions about his acquiring land in his hometown are false, clarifying that the land was allocated for the University of Sports. Nwoko maintains that he made a legitimate payment to establish the university, which serves the community.
He lamented that progress-seekers are often attacked by their own people, contrasting this with other ethnic groups. He accused certain individuals of manipulating Regina, who he asserts has a history of substance use, to settle old scores against him. Nwoko stated that anyone making defamatory claims will eventually have to prove them. The senator asserted that Regina has admitted to using drugs and has a documented history of substance use, with her former schoolmates testifying about her drug-related issues.
Addressing the marriage timeline, Nwoko clarified that Regina was born on October 10, 2000, meaning she was 19 at the time of their marriage, not 17, and defended their union based on cultural practices. The situation has also involved Regina’s brother, who was reportedly arrested, and accusations against others for introducing her to drugs. Nwoko expressed dismay that his marriage is being twisted into a political weapon against him, while Regina stands by her claims of being manipulated.
