Not again. I can\u2019t stand the violence; it\u2019s too much,\u201d as onlookers tried to calm her down.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The clip sparked widespread outrage and speculation about a possible case of domestic abuse in the Nwoko household.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Reacting through a statement on Sunday, Nwoko refuted the claims, insisting that he has never been violent towards his wife. Instead, he alleged that Regina\u2019s behaviour was being influenced by drug and alcohol abuse, which, according to him, had taken a toll on their marriage.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cRegina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem,\u201d Nwoko said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He claimed that the actress had, in the past 48 hours, assaulted three of his staff members and destroyed property, including vehicles and windows.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cRegina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting three staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The senator alleged that two individuals identified as \u201cSammy\u201d and \u201cAnn\u201d were responsible for supplying Regina with drugs, and accused them of stirring up chaos in his home.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cA clear-headed Regina would have taken Moon to the hospital, but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse for exposing her drug abuse. While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home,\u201d Nwoko stated.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He further revealed that he had urged his wife to undergo rehabilitation either in Asokoro, Abuja, or abroad, possibly in Jordan, where she would have limited access to drugs.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cRegina must continue her rehabilitation programme, or I fear for her life and safety,\u201d he warned.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As of the time of filing this report, Regina Daniels had not issued an official response to her husband\u2019s allegations.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The incident has stirred heated debate across social media platforms, with many Nigerians expressing mixed reactions\u00a0 some calling for a thorough investigation, while others urged caution until both sides are fully heard.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oscar Okhifo Businessman and senator, Ned Nwoko, has denied claims of domestic violence levelled against him by his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, describing the allegations as false and&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":123109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
