Ned Nwoko Breaks Silence, Addresses Viral Regina Daniels Video!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

Nigerian senator and businessman, Ned Nwoko, has publicly responded to a viral video showing his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, appearing visibly distressed — a clip that has sparked speculation and concern on social media.

What We Know:

• The now-viral video, shared late Friday, shows Regina Daniels in an emotional outburst during what appears to be a private family moment.
• In a statement released through his media office on Sunday, Ned Nwoko described the incident as “unfortunate,” alleging that Regina’s behaviour was triggered by “external influence and possible substance misuse,” without providing further details.
• Nwoko said the incident was “a private matter” and urged the public to respect their family’s space during what he described as a “healing period.”

Quote:

“What people saw online was not Regina in her true state. There are concerns around what triggered the episode, including possible exposure to substances. We are handling this privately and responsibly,” — Sen. Ned Nwoko (via press release)

Why It Matters:

Regina Daniels, 25, has maintained a clean public image as an actress, entrepreneur, and youth ambassador. Allegations around drug influence, if unverified, could seriously affect her reputation.

• The statement by Ned Nwoko is the first public acknowledgment of tensions within the high-profile marriage, sparking debate on social media about privacy, accountability, and support for mental health.
• No official medical report or independent confirmation has yet been released regarding the alleged substance use.

What to Watch:

• Whether Regina Daniels will issue a statement or clarification in the coming days.
• How advocacy groups and the entertainment industry react to the framing of the issue around drug use and mental health.
• Whether authorities or medical professionals will weigh in if legal or health-related investigations are launched.
