The Senator representing Delta North in the 10th Senate, Ned Nwoko, has broken his silence on the viral video of his wife – Regina Daniels – alleging domestic violence, and attributed the cause of her unbefitting behaviour to struggles with inappropriate use of drugs and alcohol.
Regina on Saturday in a viral video could be heard shouting during a confrontation:“In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much,” she said in the footage.
“In Ned Nwoko’s house I am nothing but in my house, I am Queen,” she yelled further.
However, Senator Nwoko in a statement on Sunday alleged that Regina has been violent, destroying property and attacking domestic staff, even as he refuted allegations of domestic violence against the actress and mother of two.
The Senator reckoned that he has other wives, saying if he was a violent husband, they should have been the first to experience it and accuse him of such conduct.
Desiring the best option in the circumstance for Regina, Senator Nwoko revealed that he’s given the Nollywood actress an ultimatum to accept rehabilitation either in Nigeria or abroad, warning that she risks her safety if she refused the arrangements.
The statement reads: “REGINA’S UNPROVOKED CARNAGE AND RAMPAGE IN MY HOUSE AND IN MY ABSENCE
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).
