Nigerian businessman and politician, Sen. Ned Nwoko has broken silence over his alleged assault of his wife, Regina Daniel, disclosing that the Nollywood actress is under rehabilitation programme over alleged drugs and alcohol abuse.
NPO Reported that Regina had yesterday cried out over alleged assault on her with a video showing the actress crying as her relatives and workers controlling her.
She accused the Delta lawmaker of subjecting her to series of assaults and domestic violence.
Her brother had also in a post on Instagram accused Nwoko of fleeing the house after allegedly beating Regina.
Reacting to the allegations in a statement shared on his X handle on Sunday, Nwoko claimed Regina was the one being violent as she was alleged to have physically assaulted three staff and destroyed properties within the house.
A video attached to the statement, showed couple of smashed windows as well as the smashed glass of Ferrari car.
Nwoko disclosed that Regina had been under rehabilitation with plan to continue the programme in Abuja or outside Nigeria.
While confirming that the actress had moved out of his house, the Delta lawmaker warned of likely increase in Regina’s addiction to drugs and alcohol.
He accused one Sammy, Regina’s alleged drug supplier, and Ann, another alleged supplier of drugs to the actress, of creating the chaos at his house.
“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.
