ABUJA, Nigeria (FN) \u2014 Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has declared what she calls her \u201cindependence,\u201d unveiling a new mansion amid reports of a bitter domestic dispute with her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

The 25-year-old star shared photos and videos of the luxury home on Instagram Sunday, writing, \u201cIn my house I am a Queen! I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.\u201d

The post followed a week of online uproar after a viral video showed Daniels crying outside her Abuja residence. \u201cIn Ned Nwoko\u2019s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen. I can\u2019t stand the violence \u2014 it\u2019s too much,\u201d she said in the clip that has since amassed millions of views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed tensions in the household but said relatives were urging calm. \u201cRegina\u2019s mother has been very worried about her. She only wants her daughter safe and happy,\u201d the source said, referencing Rita Daniels, also a Nollywood actress.

Rita Daniels later posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story that read, \u201cA mother\u2019s heart breaks silently, but she will always stand by her child.\u201d

Senator Nwoko, 63, has denied the allegations of domestic violence, calling them \u201cbaseless and damaging.\u201d In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Ameen Abubakar, the politician described the reports as \u201cgross exaggerations fueled by social media sensationalism.\u201d

\u201cSenator Nwoko remains committed to the peace and well-being of his family. He has never raised a hand against his wife,\u201d the statement read.

Meanwhile, colleagues from the Nollywood industry have rallied behind Daniels. Actress Ini Edo commented under the post, writing, \u201cEvery woman deserves peace of mind. Stay strong, Queen.\u201d Fellow star Tonto Dikeh also weighed in, saying, \u201cThis is your liberation story \u2014 you\u2019ve inspired many women to choose themselves.\u201d

Fans have flooded her comment section with messages of solidarity, while others criticized her for taking private matters public. Social commentator Chude Jideonwo described the development as \u201ca reflection of the growing conversation around power and control in celebrity marriages.\u201d

Human rights lawyer Dr. Funmi Falana called for an investigation into the alleged abuse, stressing that \u201cno woman, regardless of her fame or status, should endure domestic violence.\u201d

The couple\u2019s six-year marriage \u2014 long scrutinized for its 38-year age gap and polygamous structure \u2014 now faces its most public test yet.

As of Sunday evening, Regina Daniels had not issued a follow-up statement. But her symbolic declaration, coupled with the unveiling of her mansion, has ignited a national conversation about love, independence, and the cost of silence in Nigeria\u2019s elite families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
