Many People Have D!ed of Drug Overdose
Senator Ned Nwoko has insisted that his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels must go to rehab.
He stated this again in a new interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
According to him, Regina must undergo rehabilitation to address drug abuse and safeguard her well-being so she can properly raise their two sons.
In a fresh interview with the News Agency of Nigeria NAN, Nwoko said his stance followed a series of “alarming” toxicology reports indicating “high levels of harmful substances in Daniels’ system”. He said that many persons have d!ed of drug overdose and that if anything happens to Regina, he has no idea of what he will tell their children.
According to Nwoko, his wife’s calm personality had changed in recent months, as she began exhibiting “violent and destructive behaviour” alongside recurring health crises.
“I want her alive and healthy, not just for me, but for our children. We have two young kids together, and they cannot fight for themselves, so I’m going to fight for them by safeguarding their mother. Many people have d!ed of drug overdose, and if anything happens to her now, what will I tell her children tomorrow? I have lived with this problem for eight months, and on three occasions, I had to carry her to Nizamiye Hospital unconscious from a drug overdose, you can go verify it.”
Nwoko said he wanted Daniels to raise their children in “a sane and healthy environment”, adding that rehabilitation would prevent her from accessing drugs while she completes her treatment.
The senator also presented toxicology results of the actress, insisting that anyone discouraging her from seeking proper medical care was “her real enemy and that of her children”.
He said the reports showed several substances with toxic levels, dismissing recent statements by Regina’s mother and siblings on the drug abuse allegations as “baseless distractions”.
“That is why I am saying that everybody has to calm down and join hands to save her. But she and her mother are living in denial. If they really want to prove me wrong, let them arrange for her to visit any toxicologist of their choice — I will pay.”
Nwoko also alleged that Daniels’ close friends and siblings, particularly her brother Sammy influenced her and enabled her access to drugs.
“Her close relations and friends that I trusted around her are the ones exploiting her resources to supply her with drugs, leaving her addicted. Imagine the pain of a husband trying to help his wife recover from an addiction, only to have the process sabotaged by her siblings and friends. Each time progress was made, they would undo it by smuggling in the same drugs she was fighting to give up.”
The senator dismissed claims made by Regina’s brother that his son d!ed in the UK from drug overdose. He averred that autopsy results did not show drug-related complications as the cause of death.
The couple’s marital crisis has been ongoing since October, when a viral video showed Daniels in tears, accusing Nwoko of domestic violence.
The senator responded by alleging his wife was struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
Earlier today, Daniels admitted to using hard drugs but accused Nwoko of orchestrating her addiction as part of a pattern of control and manipulation.
She also alleged that the lawmaker is in possession of her private sex tape.
