Police explain reasons for arrest of Regina Daniels’ brother 

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has explained the reason behind the arrest of Samuel Ojeogwu, brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. Samuel is also known as Sammy West.

He was arrested in Lagos last week and taken to Abuja. His sister, Regina Daniels, had earlier raised the alarm on social media, accusing the police of siding with her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, and insisting that her brother was innocent.

However, the FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, said on Friday that the arrest was lawful and followed due process.

According to Adeh, the police had sent several invitations to Ojeogwu, but he failed to respond. She said his arrest followed a formal petition accusing him and three others of criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, theft, and cyberbullying.

She explained, “On October 28, 2025, the FCT Metro Area Command received a petition against Mr. Samuel Ojeogwu and three others over alleged criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, theft, and cyberbullying. Despite several invitations, he did not show up. He was later arrested in Lagos with a valid court warrant and taken to Abuja for further investigation.”

Adeh added that after investigations were completed, Ojeogwu was charged in court on November 6, 2025, for the listed offences.

“The court has ordered his remand until he meets his bail conditions,” she said, adding that the police will continue to uphold professionalism, due process, and the rule of law.
