Senator Nwoko Shuts Door on Regina Daniels, Insists on Therapy

The high-profile marital saga involving Delta North Senator Ned Nwoko and his estranged actress wife, Regina Daniels, took a definitive turn today as the lawmaker publicly declared he would not be taking her back. In a detailed and highly revealing statement posted to his Instagram account on Tuesday, Nwoko not only denied any current communication with the actress but emphatically insisted that her priority must be to undergo rehabilitation and therapy.

The Senator’s lengthy post was accompanied by screenshots of a WhatsApp message, which he identified as his final communication with Daniels. Through the statement, Nwoko sought to provide clarity on the timeline and circumstances that led to their separation, alleging that Regina Daniels has been consistently operating “completely under the influence of hard drugs.” According to the lawmaker, this substance abuse has fueled a devastating sequence of violent and irrational incidents that ultimately fractured their relationship.

Nwoko released the specific WhatsApp message, dated October 17, to underscore his commitment to her well-being while rejecting any possibility of reconciliation under the current circumstances. He framed the message as the ultimatum he delivered regarding her urgent need for rehabilitation. The statement was explicit and unambiguous: “Senator Ned Nwoko is not chatting with Regina and does not want her back in the house. All he is insisting on is that she should be encouraged to go to therapy.”

This public declaration serves to unequivocally shut down speculation about a potential reunion, shifting the entire focus of the dispute from reconciliation to the actress’s alleged state of health. Nwoko’s team positioned the Senator’s actions as a responsible, albeit firm, refusal to enable a situation fueled by drug dependency.

The statement also directly addressed and vigorously denied counter-allegations purportedly made by the actress, describing her claims of drugs and sexual misconduct as nothing more than a “figment of her imagination” that can never be substantiated. By releasing the private communication and outlining his account of the events, Senator Nwoko is attempting to control the narrative, framing his stance not as an abandonment but as a necessary boundary drawn for the sake of his estranged wife’s health and the stability of his home.

The dramatic public disclosure has sent ripples through both the political and entertainment spheres, confirming the definitive end of one of Nigeria’s most scrutinized celebrity marriages and refocusing the media scrutiny onto the alleged issues of substance abuse and the need for immediate therapeutic intervention. Senator Nwoko is demanding that her next step be professional help, not a return to his residence.
