The fairytale image of one of Nigeria’s most talked-about marriages has shattered amid explosive allegations of domestic violence, with actress Regina Daniels publicly accusing her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, of physical abuse.

The crisis erupted after a deeply emotional video surfaced online, showing a tearful Daniels being comforted by friends. In the clip, the young mother is heard sobbing as she declares she can no longer endure the alleged mistreatment.

“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,” a heartbroken Daniels cried, sending shockwaves through social media.

The allegations intensified when Daniels’ brother, singer Sammy West, launched a furious attack on Senator Nwoko via his Instagram story. West accused the politician of physically assaulting his sister and then fleeing the scene, only to send thugs to harass the family.

In a passionate post written in Pidgin English, West vowed retaliation, stating, “Senator Ned Nwoko you get luck say after you beat my sister again, smash her head for wall, you run commot send thugs. I swear I for burst your jaw.” He emphasized that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred.

The couple, whose 2019 marriage sparked intense public debate due to their significant age difference, have been a constant feature in the media, often portraying a life of luxury and marital bliss. They share two sons and had just announced in March that they were expecting their third child, making the current allegations all the more dramatic.

As of the time of this report, Senator Ned Nwoko has maintained a conspicuous silence, offering no public statement to address the serious claims made by his wife and her brother. The unfolding scandal has left the public awaiting his response and the next chapter in this high-profile domestic drama.
