Senator Ned Nwoko on Sunday denied allegations that he physically assaulted his wife, actress Regina Daniels, blaming her recent behaviour on drug and alcohol abuse.

In a video posted on his social media page, Mr Nwoko shared footage of a damaged car and a chair covered in what appeared to be burnt material. 

He captioned the post “Regina’s unprovoked carnage and rampage in my house and in my absence.”

The senator claimed that the actress’ alleged addiction had caused repeated domestic disputes, stating that she needed rehabilitation to ensure her safety.

“Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem,” he said.

“She must continue her rehabilitation programme, or I fear for her life and safety. Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs.”

Mr Nwoko also dismissed claims of violence in his marriage, asserting that none of his other wives had made similar accusations. 

He described the actress as the “violent one,” alleging that she assaulted three staff members and destroyed property in their home.

“Regina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting three staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause,” he wrote.

The senator further alleged that Mrs Daniels had threatened to kill a resident nurse after being confronted about her alleged substance use. 

He said he had set conditions for her to undergo rehabilitation in either Asokoro or Jordan.

Referring to an incident that needed their son Moon to go to the hospital, he said, “A clear-headed Regina would have taken Moon to the hospital, but instead, she even threatened to kill our resident nurse for exposing her drug abuse,” he said. 

“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” he said.

His statement comes a day after the actress’ brother, Sammy West, accused Mr Nwoko of beating her and sending thugs to attack her.

Mrs Daniels has not publicly responded to her husband’s latest claims as of the time of this report
