Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has accused her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, of masterminding the arrest of her elder brother and sister to coerce her into returning home and submitting to a rehabilitation programme.
“Someone pls help me! I feel like I’m losing my mind,” Regina wrote in a string of emotional Instagram stories that were widely shared online on Monday evening.
She continued: “I never thought I would do this but my big brother and big sister have been arrested, my baby sister might be arrested soon as well until I return and according to him, return to rehab.”
The actress, who has been at the centre of a marriage crisis that has played out publicly over the last week, lashed out at the senator’s insistence that she enter rehab.
“Don’t even get me started on telling the world what you did to me with your stupid rehab talk! You said I’m a drug addict… What other name can you call me? A prostitute? But I will speak on that one day and tell the world of your involvement with everything!”
Regina’s posts painted a picture of personal despair and humiliation
“I’m trying, I’m really trying to be the bigger person by not saying or doing anything… Leave my family alone Ned! And leave me alone too! It is obvious it’s war! And a big shame that the beautiful but short legacy we built is about to be ridiculed by the whole world.”
She also appealed to followers for sympathy, describing herself as “a hard girl” reduced to tears: “This is so freaking embarrassing! Hard girl like me crying.”
Confirming Regina’s claim, her elder brother, who posts as Sir.Sammywest on Instagram, wrote on his story: “Dem say dem na Ned send dem. Currently at Ogombo station,” signalling that the siblings were in police custody at the Ogombo police station.
The latest allegations come against the backdrop of earlier claims by Senator Ned Nwoko that Regina is battling drug and alcohol addiction, a contention he laid out in a public statement titled, “Regina’s Unprovoked Carnage And Rampage In My House And In My Absence.”
In that statement the Delta North lawmaker described what he called “violent behaviour and erratic conduct” by Regina.
The lawmaker said she must continue a rehabilitation programme or he fears for her life and safety.
He said he had proposed rehab either in Asokoro, Abuja, or abroad — specifically naming Jordan — where, he alleged, she would not have access to substances.
SaharaReporters had earlier reported that a viral video showing Regina in visible distress, surrounded by relatives and aides, at one point fainting and crying that she “can’t stand the violence”, had fuelled public concern. In that footage she was heard saying: “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.”
