Kehinde Adeleye
Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, has responded to recent social media claims by his estranged wife and Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, concerning access to their two sons, Munir and Khalifa.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his communication team and titled “Take the Window of Quietude for Therapy,” Nwoko denied allegations that he is deliberately preventing Daniels from seeing the children or exploiting them for public attention.
The statement described Daniels’ online posts as misleading and inconsistent with established family practices, noting that sharing family moments has long been a tradition within the household.
According to Nwoko’s team, Daniels herself has frequently shared photos and videos of not only her children but also those of Nwoko’s other wives in the past, without raising concerns about privacy or exploitation.
The statement further claimed that Daniels’ absence from the children’s lives has been voluntary, alleging that she has prioritised social engagements and nightlife over consistent involvement. It added that the children currently live in a stable environment focused on routine, care, and emotional well-being.
Nwoko also disclosed that an Abuja court has directed that Regina Daniels undergo drug rehabilitation and be assessed by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before regaining access to the children.
The matter has been adjourned to February 4, 2026, for substantive hearing.
The dispute, which centres on child custody, first escalated publicly in October 2025, following allegations involving substance abuse and domestic issues, culminating in the current legal proceedings.
