Ned Nwoko Gets 48-Hour Ultimatum To Accept Regina Daniels’ Returned Bride Price

Relatives of popular actress Regina Daniels from the Ogwashi-Uku community in Delta State have given her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, 48 hours to return the bride price he paid for her.

The group also urged him to stop alleged harassment and intimidation of her family members.

The demand was made in an open letter signed by Favour Awele Obi on behalf of the community.

The letter accused Senator Nwoko of disregarding local customs and using his position to oppress Regina’s relatives.

The kinsmen stated that their tradition allows a woman to leave a marriage if she chooses, and her family must return the bride price to end the union formally.

According to them, Regina’s family had made several attempts to return the payment, but Nwoko allegedly refused to accept it.

They said if he continues to reject it, the money would be placed at the Ikeleke Quarter in Ogwashi-Uku, a traditional action that would signify the end of the marriage.

The community also expressed displeasure over the alleged arrest and intimidation of Regina’s relatives, describing such actions as disrespectful to their customs.

The letter, shared online by Regina’s brother, Sweezzy, and actor Stanley Ontop, urged Nwoko to uphold peace by allowing tradition to take its course and ensuring that those detained are released.

Recall that earlier in the week, Regina accused her estranged husband of ordering the arrest of her brother and sister after she declined to return to him.

Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko got married in 2019 and have two sons together.

As of the time of this report, Senator Nwoko has not issued any public response to the letter.
