Samuel Ojeogwu, brother of embattled Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has been released from detention after fulfilling his bail condition.
NPO Reported that the music artist, popularly known as Sammy, was last week arraigned to court following his arrest over alleged criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, theft, and cyberbullying against Delta state lawmaker and Regina’s husband, Sen. Ned Nwoko.
The lawmaker had in the past weeks come under public spotlight over his marital crisis with Regina who moved out his house after accusing him of domestic violence.
Nwoko had however repeatedly denied the allegations while disclosing the actress’ drug and alcohol addiction.
The Nigerian politician had alleged that efforts to rehabilitate Regina was repeatedly foiled by Sammy and her friends as they reportedly supply the actress with more drugs and often assault Nwoko’s domestic staff.
The fiasco had led to the arrest of Sammy in Lagos having left Nwoko’s house alongside Regina.
The musician was transferred back to Abuja, where he was arraigned and subsequently detained pending the fulfilment of his bail condition.
His release was annnunced in series of post shared on X on Monday.
While his face was not revealed, the posts showed his mother, Rita Daniels, accompanied by Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, and others who confirmed the release of Sammy.
However, NPO earlier Reported the alleged demand of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for the custody of Sammy after his release for drug test.
