Regina Daniels to Ned Nwoko: “Leave Me Alone—We Were Never Married”
Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has once again addressed her estranged partner, Senator Ned Nwoko, telling him to leave her alone. The actress shocked fans by revealing that their relationship was never legally recognized as a marriage, sparking widespread discussion on social media.
Regina Daniels Speaks Out on Instagram
On Sunday morning, Regina posted a statement on Instagram. She admitted to using drugs but stressed that this was not the main issue in their relationship. Instead, she accused Nwoko of trying to isolate her from friends and family.
“Fine, I did drugs. So what? Is that even the issue between us? You went public with ‘drugs, drugs, drugs’ just to distract everyone from the real problem,” she wrote.
Regina further alleged that Nwoko confiscated her phones for weeks and blocked her communication with loved ones. She also claimed he locked her in a room and called her “mentally unstable” whenever she tried to leave.
Allegations of Isolation and Control
Regina explained that their conflicts began the moment she decided she no longer wanted to stay in the relationship.
“Every problem we’ve had started when I no longer wanted you — whether sober or high,” she wrote.
She accused Nwoko of attempting to control her life by cutting off her support system. According to Regina, his goal was to leave her isolated and helpless.
“You want to arrest everyone around me so I’ll have no one left. Then, when I’m broken and alone, I’ll be forced to come back to you,” she added.
“We Were Never Married”
In the same post, Regina confirmed that she and Nwoko were never legally married.
“For the record, I would have filed for divorce long ago if there was ever a legal marriage between us. We were never married in any court of law. Leave me alone, Ned. Marriage is not by force. Love is not by force.”
Her statement reignited public debate about their relationship, which has long attracted media attention in Nigeria.
Viral Video and Legal Drama
Days before her Instagram post, a viral video showed Regina crying while describing her emotional struggles.
“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing. But in my house, I am a queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence,” she said tearfully.
The situation escalated legally when police, following a petition from Nwoko, charged her brother, Samuel Ojeogwu, on November 6 with criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, and theft. He remains in custody pending bail.
Public Reaction and Support
The revelations triggered strong reactions online. Fans and celebrities expressed support for Regina, encouraging her to stay strong and prioritize her well-being. Others called for investigations into her allegations.
Clearly, Regina is determined to reclaim her peace and move on. As the story unfolds, one fact is certain—she will no longer remain silent about her life and choices.
