The ongoing marital controversy between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her billionaire husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, took a dramatic twist on Monday night after Regina’s elder brother, Lawrence Daniels, made a series of allegations against the lawmaker via his Instagram story.
In a lengthy social media rant, Lawrence accused the Delta North senator of hypocrisy and domestic violence, alleging that Nwoko had confessed to slapping Regina “twice”, claiming it was “to correct her”.
“You dey confirm to me say I slapped her twice, which any husband would do to correct his wife,” Lawrence wrote. “But went on Channels to say I’ve never hit any woman. How, bro, how?”
He further accused Nwoko of manipulating the situation to silence Regina and her siblings, claiming that their brother, Sammy, was being detained by the police at Ogombo Police Station, Lekki-Ajah.
“Police are beating Sammy currently at Ogombo Police Station! This media go scatter because everyone should be ready to face the consequences of their actions. If anything happens to any of my siblings, hold Ned Nwoko responsible!” he wrote.
Lawrence, who described himself as a “preacher of peace,” said he had tried to resolve the issue privately but could no longer stay silent as things escalated. “She [Regina] said no, you vex go arrest her sibling. We should clap for you?” he added.
He also accused Nwoko of being “a narcissist” who uses his political power to oppress his family, warning that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) could soon stage a protest at the senator’s home if the matter continues.
The allegations have since sparked outrage across social media, with many Nigerians demanding an independent investigation into the claims of assault and intimidation.
The online feud comes just days after reports surfaced that Senator Nwoko had allegedly filed a petition that led to the arrest of Regina’s brother, Sammy Daniels, over claims of theft and defamation.
Efforts to reach Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, for comments on the alleged arrest were unsuccessful, as text messages sent to his phone were not responded to at the time of filing this report.
Nwoko, who currently represents Delta North in the Senate, has not yet released an official statement addressing the new allegations.
