Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has announced the purchase of a new mansion in Lagos amid ongoing reports of marital crisis with her husband, businessman and politician, Senator Ned Nwoko.
Sharing pictures of the property on Instagram on Sunday, the actress wrote, “In my house I am a Queen ! Needed a roof over my head so I got this for me and my family .”
The post comes a few days after a viral video showed Regina in tears, alleging that she had suffered violence in her marriage.
In the video, she said, “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much.”
Responding to the viral clip, Nwoko denied allegations of domestic violence, attributing their marital issues to the actress’s alleged struggle with drug and alcohol abuse.
In a statement released, the senator claimed Regina’s substance use had strained their marriage, alleging that she had recently turned violent, attacked three of his staff, and damaged property within two days.
He explained that he had advised her to continue her rehabilitation either in Asokoro or abroad, where she would have limited access to drugs, expressing concern for her wellbeing.
Nwoko further alleged that Regina refused to take their son, Moon, to the hospital during a medical emergency and instead confronted a resident nurse who exposed her alleged drug use.
He also accused two individuals, identified as Sammy and Ann, of supplying drugs to the actress and causing chaos in his home during his absence.
He said, “Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation program, or I fear for her life and safety. Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs. I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence.
“Regina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting 3 staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause. The truth is, I have set a clear condition for her to accept rehab in Asokoro or outside Nigeria especially Jordan where she will not have access to drugs.
“A clear headed regina would have taken moon to the hospital but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse(for exposing her drugs abuse). 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.”
