Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has made a public declaration of her intention to return to her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, citing concerns for her family's safety and the urgent need to secure her brother's release from detention. In a series of emotionally charged social media posts published on Friday, Daniels levied serious accusations against the billionaire politician, alleging that he is leveraging his considerable influence to persecute her family. These accusations follow the arrest of her brother, Samuel 'Sammy West' Daniels, and the reported issuance of an arrest warrant against her mother, Rita Daniels.

A visibly distraught Daniels shared a video lamenting the online mockery she has faced while silently enduring significant emotional turmoil. She articulated the painful irony of public perception, stating, "It’s okay to laugh as per oo — when she was flaunting the wealth, were we enjoying it with her? But nobody ever flaunts their sadness because of this very reason — mockery." She underscored the profound difficulty of her situation, emphasizing that only those in her shoes could truly comprehend her plight. She further questioned societal expectations, asking what people anticipated her to flaunt—sadness or abuse—before concluding with an expression of intent to break her phone.

Earlier, Daniels had posted a lengthy message expressing profound despair over her brother's arrest. In this message, she alleged widespread police corruption and political interference, asserting that her brother's only "offense" was "Fighting for his baby sister because his in-law would always beat her up." She openly criticized the Nigerian police, stating, "I actually accorded the Nigerian police some respect but shame on you all! It’s obvious the highest bidder always wins." She conveyed a sense of being "crippled" by the situation, indicating a willingness to return to her husband and comply with his demands, even implying coercive measures like being "injected to be like a zombie" or being "locked up and raped in the house" if that were the only path to her brother's freedom. Daniels vehemently stated that "by law, there is no tangible case against Sammy West," and concluded with the disheartening assertion that "Ned Nwoko is bigger than the whole of Nigeria, that’s what this means. We lost — or rather, I lost!"

Further corroborating the alleged intimidation, Regina shared a screenshot of a message she claimed was sent by her mother, Rita Daniels. The message indicated that "Ned has issued an arrest warrant against me. I should be arrested on or before Monday." Reports suggest that the tension escalated after Sammy West confronted Senator Nwoko regarding allegations of domestic abuse against his sister. Following this confrontation, Sammy West was reportedly arrested and subsequently transferred from Lagos to Abuja under circumstances that remain unclear. The actress has publicly stated her belief that her brother's arrest is a calculated act of intimidation designed to compel her return to her husband's residence and to force her into rehabilitation for alleged substance abuse. As of the current report, Senator Ned Nwoko has not issued any public response to the recent allegations made by Regina Daniels.
