The suggestion that he is abusing his wife, actress Regina Daniels has drawn defence from Senator Ned Nwoko.
“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,” Regina had posted online in a video of hers to which her brother, Ojeogwu Samuel Danhillman, popularly known as Sammy West, reacted to in an Instagram post where he wrote: “Anywhere wey man dey beat woman, whether na my sister or not, I go fight with my blood,” also reacted angrily on Instagram, accusing Nwoko of assaulting his sister and vowing to defend her.”
The posts caught public attention and generated mixed reactions.
Ned has now denied any suggestion that he is a wife beater saying in a lengthy post and a short video shared on his Instagram handle #princenednwoko on Sunday, that the actress and her brother her battling drug and alcohol abuse.
“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,” he wrote.
The senator alleged that Regina went on a violent rampage at their home in his absence, attacking 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,” the senator alleged.
Nwoko added that he had offered his wife two rehabilitation options in Asokoro or Jordan, “where she will not have access to drugs.”
He further alleged that the scene at home was worsened by the interference of Regina’s associates, whom he described as “drug suppliers.”
“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier,” he alleged.
