“She Killed My Unborn Child”
OpenLife Nigeria reports that in a dramatic turn of events that has shaken Nigeria’s entertainment and political circles, Ned Nwoko has publicly explained the reasons behind the arrest of Ann, the best friend of his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, alongside Regina’s elder brother, Sammy Daniels.
The senator’s statement, released via his official Instagram page hours ago, has sparked intense reactions online, with fresh allegations, counterclaims, and revelations now dominating public discourse.
WHAT LED TO ANN ’S ARREST?
According to Ned Nwoko, Ann was arrested for criminal defamation after allegedly making damaging accusations against him. He stated that Ann publicly accused him of physically assaulting his Moroccan wife, Laila, claiming the alleged assault resulted in a miscarriage.
Nwoko firmly denied the allegation, describing it as false, malicious, and reputationally damaging, stressing that no such incident ever occurred and that the claims were deliberately fabricated to tarnish his image and political career.
NED NWOKO ’S STATEMENT ON THE ARREST
In his press statement, the senator described the accusations as “a calculated attempt to destroy his family and public image.” He insisted that Ann’s narrative was a lie constructed to gain sympathy and public attention, adding that legal action was unavoidable due to the gravity of the claims.
He further alleged that Ann was not only spreading falsehoods but had previously been involved in actions that harmed his marriage and family structure, making the arrest a matter of law, not personal vendetta.
SHOCKING ALLEGATIONS INVOLVING REGINA DANIELS
In one of the most controversial parts of his statement, Ned Nwoko accused Ann of facilitating an illegal abortion for Regina Daniels while she was still married to him. He claimed Ann administered harmful substances to Regina, allegedly making her swallow weeds that caused severe bleeding for weeks.
Nwoko described the incident as a “gruesome act that led to the loss of his unborn child,” accusing Ann of playing a direct role in the tragedy. These allegations, though yet to be legally proven, have intensified public outrage and divided opinions across social media platforms.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF NED NWOKO
Ned Nwoko is a Nigerian lawyer, businessman, philanthropist, and politician. He is a serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, representing Delta North Senatorial District. Known for his wealth, influence, and advocacy for malaria eradication in Africa, Nwoko has built a reputation as both a political heavyweight and a controversial public figure due to his polygamous lifestyle and high-profile marriages.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF REGINA DANIELS
Regina Daniels is a popular Nollywood actress who began acting as a child star. She rose to fame for her roles in indigenous Nigerian movies and later became a social media influencer and entrepreneur. Regina married Ned Nwoko in 2019, a union that drew massive attention due to their wide age gap and contrasting social backgrounds.
AGE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THEIR MARRIAGE
Regina Daniels’ marriage to Ned Nwoko sparked national debate because of their almost 40-year age difference. Critics questioned her age at the time of marriage, while supporters defended the union as consensual and culturally acceptable. The relationship became one of the most discussed celebrity marriages in Nigeria, dominating headlines for months.
MARITAL CRISIS AND SEPARATION CONTROVERSY
The widely documented marital crisis between Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels began to play out publicly in October 2025. That’s when a now-viral video showed Regina in tears, claiming she was miserable in the marriage. This is widely cited as the moment the crisis became unmistakable in the public eye.
Regina Daniels accused Nwoko of physical and emotional mistreatment, making statements about feeling “nothing” in his home and alleging control over her freedom and relationships.
Ned Nwoko denied all allegations of violence, and instead pinned the root cause on Regina’s struggles with substance use (drugs and alcohol) and behaviour he deemed destructive, saying he had been trying to help her rehabilitate.


Regina later pivoted her explanation, saying that drug use was not the real issue — and that the conflict actually began when she decided she no longer wanted to continue in the relationship. She claimed he used the drug narrative to distract from the true cause of the fallout.
DRUG ALLEGATIONS AND LIFESTYLE CONTROVERSIES
The crisis has also been surrounded by drug-related allegations circulating online, though no official charges have been proven against Regina Daniels. These claims have largely remained speculative, driven by blogs and social media narratives rather than verified court proceedings.
THEIR CHILDREN AND FAMILY LIFE
Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels share two sons, who have largely been kept away from public controversies. Despite their marital issues, both parents have continued to show affection toward their children on social media, with sources close to the family stating that child welfare remains a priority amid the ongoing disputes.
Public Reaction and Ongoing Developments
The arrest of Ann and Sammy Daniels has divided public opinion. While some Nigerians believe Ned Nwoko is exercising his legal rights against defamation, others see the development as a powerful figure using influence to suppress opposing voices.
As investigations continue, Nigerians await further statements from Regina Daniels, Ann’s legal team, and law enforcement agencies to clarify the truth behind the allegations and arrests.
