ABUJA, Nigeria — Dr. Michael Nwoko, brother of Nigerian senator and businessman Ned Nwoko, has called for public restraint and privacy following widespread speculation about a reported domestic dispute between Nwoko and his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
In a statement shared on social media, Dr. Nwoko described the situation as a “private family matter” and urged fans and the public to avoid speculation. He emphasized that the issue would be resolved internally and asked for patience and understanding.
“We appreciate the concern and support from well-wishers,” he said. “However, we kindly ask for privacy as the family addresses this matter with the discretion it deserves.”
The appeal comes in the wake of viral videos and unverified reports circulating online, alleging tension between the couple. The nature of the claims remains unclear, but the online frenzy has fueled public curiosity and debate.
Dr. Nwoko’s statement is the first official response from the family, aiming to quell rumors and reaffirm their intention to handle the matter away from public scrutiny.
Ned Nwoko, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics and business, married Regina Daniels in 2019. Their relationship has frequently drawn media attention due to their age difference and high-profile status.
The couple, who share a young son, have often portrayed a united front on social media, making the recent reports of unrest particularly jarring for fans.
While neither Ned Nwoko nor Regina Daniels has publicly addressed the allegations, the family’s call for privacy suggests a desire to manage the situation without external interference.
Observers note that the incident highlights the challenges of maintaining personal boundaries in the age of viral media and celebrity culture.
As speculation continues online, the family has reiterated its commitment to resolving the matter peacefully and away from the public eye.
