Documents show Regina Daniels’ abuse of hard drugs

Adebayo Obajemu

Documents exclusively obtained by this reporter indicate that Regina Daniels, the estranged wife of billionaire lawmaker, Senator Ned Nwoko, is excessively abusing drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and alcohol,

According to a laboratory test conducted by an expert and report made available to newsmen, the toxicology test on Regina showed positive to marijuana, cocaine, morphine, ipiates and alcohol at health- toxic levels.

According to Nwoko, ‘Regina needs help and must go back to the Rehab centre which she started two months ago for medical attention’.

Recall that the lawmaker had opened up on the dispute between his wife, Regina, attributing their marital crisis to her battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

Regina had earlier accused Nwoko of assault and domestic abuse. She alleged that the violence in her husband’s home had become unbearable, saying Nwoko sent thugs to attack her.

“Ned sent thugs to attack me, I’m nothing in Ned’s house, but in my house, I’m a queen. I can’t stand the violence anymore; it’s too much,” the mother of two was heard saying in a viral video on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

Reacting via a statement shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, Nwoko denied allegations of domestic violence preferred against him by Regina, insisting that he had never been abusive to any of his wives.

The lawmaker, who also shared a video showing his properties allegedly destroyed by Regina, stated that despite having other wives, none had ever accused him of violence.

He wrote: “Regina was not always like this. Her current battle with drugs and alcohol abuse is the root of our problem. She must continue her rehabilitation program, or I fear for her life and safety.

“Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs. I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence.

“Regina 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.”

Nwoko explained that he had set a clear condition for Regina to undergo rehabilitation, either at a facility in Asokoro, Abuja, or abroad, to help her overcome addiction.

Nwoko added: “The truth is, I have set a clear condition for her to accept rehab in Asokoro or outside Nigeria especially Jordan where she will not have access to drugs.

“A clear headed Regina would have taken moon to the hospital but instead she even threatened to kill our resident nurse (for exposing her drugs abuse).

“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier. Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann.”

Nwoko in a WhatsApp chat with Regina said ‘I won’t accept your friends coming here at odd hours again. First it was glam on Sunday night.

“I spoke with two of you to go to sleep at 1 am or she should leave. She didn’t do either. It was an all night of noise and music and all that goes with it.

“By 3 am another two friends joined you. They left the following afternoon. Again today, I asked you to go to.bed at 3am. You refused. It was was the noise of doors downstairs that woke me up. Lo and behold, you and Sonia were heading to your room at exactly 3.30am.

“You have shown so much disrespect in the past few days. I don’t know who is giving you drugs amongst them and this lifestyle is totally unacceptable and we can’t continue like this.

“It is either you continue with your therapy or you check into the rehab in Asokoro. My health is deteriorating because of your situation. I am worried about your life and what will happen with the kids. More importantly, I won’t fund your lifestyle again until you are fully rehabilitated’

Nwoko added all his efforts to ensure he rehabilitated Regina were rebuffed by his wife and family members.

Recall that Regina Daniels had days back admitted to using hard drugs via her Instagram page stating other reasons for her addiction.
