Senator Ned Nwoko has opened up on the cause of the problem with Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, who is one of his wives.

In a viral video and social-media posts, on Saturday, the actress was seen accusing her husband of domestic violence.

In footage, Daniels was seen in tears while her friends consoled her.

She had said she was tired and could no longer tolerate alleged mistreatment by her husband.

“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my house, I am a queen. Not again, I cannot stand the violence, it is too much,” she said in the clip.

The matter gained further attention after Sammy West, Daniels’s brother, posted on his Instagram story accusing the senator of physically assaulting his sister, fleeing the scene and later sending men to intimidate the family.

Reacting in a statement on Sunday, Nwoko said the actress was battling with drug substance, which he claimed had taken a toll on their marriage.

“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 3 staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause.

“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.”

Daniels and Nwoko’s union has long been a subject of public discussion, largely due to their 40-year age difference.
