Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has been trending after a distressing video of her went viral on social media on Saturday, October 18, 2025.
In the clip, Regina is surrounded by people amid a tense commotion and can be heard saying she “can no longer stand the violence.”
The short footage, widely shared on X and Instagram, shows Regina panting and upset as bystanders try to calm her. She tells those around her: “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.”
At one point men who appear ready to intervene are visible, and one man is seen carrying a stick, suggesting a heated confrontation.
The video prompted an angry public response from Regina’s’ brother, Ojeogwu Samuel Danhillman (Sammy West), who posted on Instagram alleging that Senator Ned Nwoko had physically assaulted his sister and even “smashed her head on the wall,” and accused the senator of sending thugs.
Sammy West vowed to defend his sister and threatened retaliation in several posts.
News outlets and social feeds reporting the viral footage say the immediate cause of the disturbance is not publicly confirmed.
Multiple reports note that no formal police statement or public legal filing has been released so far.
Senator Nwoko Speaks
Responding to the incident in a lengthy post and a short video shared on his Instagram handle #princenednwoko on Sunday, Nwoko claimed the actress was battling drug and alcohol abuse, which he said was at the root of the crisis rocking their marriage.
“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 programme, or I fear for her life and safety,” he wrote.
The senator alleged that Regina went on a violent rampage at their home in his absence, attacking staff and destroying property.
“She slapped and hit three staff in the past 48 hours and destroyed property, including cars and windows, for no just cause.
“Now she has moved to a place where she will have unrestricted access to drugs,” the senator alleged
Nwoko said he had offered his wife two rehabilitation options in Asokoro or Jordan, “where she will not have access to drugs.”
He further alleged that the scene at home was worsened by the interference of Regina’s associates, whom he described as “drug suppliers.”
“While I took Moon to the hospital, a scene of chaos unfolded at home, orchestrated by Sammy, Regina’s main drug supplier.
“Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” he alleged.
The incident comes weeks after Regina Daniels’ October 10 birthday post and follows earlier signs of strain in the marriage that attracted public attention, including previous social-media moves by Daniels that drew speculation.
Both the personal dynamics of their marriage and Nwoko’s polygamous lifestyle have kept the union in the public eye.
Neither Regina Daniels nor Senator Ned Nwoko has issued an official joint statement addressing the viral video and the allegations circulating online. The story remains fluid as social media and news outlets continue to circulate the footage and family members voice strong reactions.
