ABUJA, Nigeria (FN) \u2014 Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has publicly accused her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, of orchestrating the arrest of her siblings amid what appears to be a deepening marital crisis.
In a series of emotional Instagram Story posts on Monday evening, the 24-year-old actress wrote, *\u201cLeave my family alone, Pa Ned. Leave me alone. Must things go south if a partner is no longer interested?\u201d* She claimed that her elder brother and sister had been arrested and warned that her younger sister might also be detained.
Daniels alleged that the arrests were part of an attempt by Nwoko to pressure her into returning to a rehabilitation center, which she says he previously tried to force upon her. \u201cSomeone please help me! I feel like I\u2019m losing my mind,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI never thought I would do this, but my big brother and big sister have been arrested.\u201d
The actress also accused Nwoko of spreading damaging claims about her, including allegations of substance abuse. \u201cYou said I\u2019m a drug addict. Me, I use am rob body, sir!\u201d she wrote, denying the accusations and expressing frustration over what she described as a campaign to tarnish her image.
The controversy comes just days after reports emerged that Daniels had filed for divorce from Nwoko, citing alleged domestic violence. In response, Nwoko reportedly accused her of drug and alcohol abuse, further escalating tensions between the couple.
The arrests have sparked public outcry, with fans and fellow celebrities expressing concern over the alleged abuse of power. Human rights advocates have called for an independent investigation into the matter and urged authorities to ensure due process is followed.
As of Monday night, there has been no official statement from Senator Nwoko or his legal team regarding the arrests or Daniels\u2019 allegations. The Nigerian Police Force has also not confirmed the circumstances surrounding the reported detentions.
The unfolding drama has captivated social media, with hashtags like #JusticeForRegina and #FreeReginaSiblings trending across platforms. Many users have called for transparency and accountability in the handling of the case.
Daniels, who married Nwoko in 2019, has often been in the public eye due to the couple\u2019s age difference and high-profile lifestyle. The current dispute marks one of the most turbulent chapters in their relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
