Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja has publicly disowned a circulating medical document alleging that Nollywood star Regina Daniels is undergoing treatment for substance abuse, adding a new twist to the actress’s ongoing family controversy. The supposed report, which spread widely across social media earlier this week, claimed the actress had been diagnosed with a substance use disorder and enrolled in a home-based detox program in Sept. 24, 2025. It also appeared to carry the signature of the hospital’s managing director and head of clinical services, Adekunle Adesina.
In a strongly worded statement released Thursday, Serenity Royale Hospital dismissed the document as fabricated and unauthorized. Hospital officials said the institution had no connection to the alleged medical evaluation and warned the public against circulating false medical claims. “Our attention has been drawn to a post on an alleged mid-term home detox report being circulated online in the name of Serenity Royale Hospital with respect to Nwoko Regina,” the statement said. “We wish to state clearly that the publication and circulation of the said post containing classified information did not emanate from us and respectfully request the public to disregard the same.”
The hospital’s rebuttal comes amid heightened tensions surrounding Daniels, who has recently been the subject of online speculation due to reports of internal conflict within her family. The viral medical report intensified the controversy, sparking debates across social platforms about the actress’s wellbeing and the motivations behind the leak. Critics questioned the authenticity of the document early on, noting inconsistencies in its formatting and language, but its circulation persisted until the hospital intervened.
Legal and health professionals are now weighing in on the potential implications of such fabricated medical documents. Experts warn that impersonating medical institutions or disclosing falsified health records can constitute a breach of privacy, defamation and cybercrime under Nigerian law. Hospitals and practitioners emphasize the need for stricter digital verification to prevent similar misinformation from gaining traction in the future.
Meanwhile, supporters of the actress have described the situation as an attempt to tarnish Daniels’s public image at a time when her family disputes have already drawn national attention. Several industry colleagues have called for restraint and responsible reporting, urging the public to avoid amplifying unverified claims. The actress herself has not released a direct statement regarding the alleged report, though individuals close to her have dismissed it as part of a targeted smear campaign.
The incident highlights a growing trend of counterfeit medical reports being weaponized in public feuds involving celebrities and public figures. Analysts say such tactics not only invade personal privacy but also undermine public trust in healthcare institutions. Hospitals across the country continue to reiterate that legitimate medical documents follow strict protocols and are never released without patient consent.
As the controversy unfolds, Serenity Royale Hospital maintains that it has initiated internal checks to safeguard its name and prevent future impersonation. The facility encourages the public to verify any medical communication through official channels. For now, the hospital’s denial has refocused attention on the origins of the forged report and the parties responsible for its circulation, leaving the online community divided as speculation continues.
The Regina Daniels family feud remains unresolved, but the repudiation of the drug report has added yet another layer to an already complex public narrative. Whether the actress will address the matter directly or pursue legal action is yet to be seen, but the episode has sparked broader conversations about misinformation, privacy breaches and the ethical limits of digital discourse.
