The marital crisis between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, has taken a worse dimension as the actress broke down in tears over the alleged harassment of her family and the arrest of her brother, Samuel Daniels, popularly known as Sammy West.
The separation, which had earlier led Regina to consider filing for divorce, has now spiralled into a full-blown public storm. In a series of emotional videos shared online, the actress confessed to feeling overwhelmed by fear, pressure, and uncertainty surrounding her brother’s safety.
Her outpouring of emotion has sparked widespread concern across social media, with fans, family members, and fellow entertainers calling for Sammy’s release and urging both parties to de-escalate the growing tension.
Regina’s meltdown, desperation
In one of the videos posted around 3 a.m. on Friday, Regina tearfully confessed that the situation had taken a severe toll on her mental and emotional health.
“Guys, I tried. I feel like I am going crazy and losing my mind. It’s not making any sense. I’m finally crying in front of everyone. Every day, I wake up to different things about my brother online. Today, I hear good news; tomorrow, I hear something else. I have tried, and I will go back,” she said.
She followed it with another post, claiming that her mother, Rita Daniels, had informed her that the police would pick her up on Monday following an arrest warrant allegedly issued by Ned Nwoko.
Regina later hinted that she might return to her estranged husband to end the turmoil.
“I give up! What was my brother’s offence? Fighting for his baby sister because her in-laws would always beat her up? I will return if that’s the only way, do whatever he says, get injected to be like a zombie, get locked up and raped in the house. Only then will my brother return,” she wrote.
This came after she had already shown disinterest in reconciling with Nwoko in a previous post, where she stated, “Leave my family alone, Ned! And leave me alone, too! Must things go completely south if partners are no longer interested?”
Meanwhile, in a video shared earlier in the week, Regina alleged that Sammy was arrested and taken to an undisclosed location, adding that she had been losing sleep and weight over the matter.
“My family is actually in turmoil, but we will definitely come out of it. I will fight for my children, Ned. I will take them and raise them with or without you, my love, my ex-husband.”
She added passionately, “My entire focus right now is to know the whereabouts of my brother. Where is Sammy, Ned?! Now, this fight is going to be power for power, or rather, aura for aura!”
