The Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, has insisted that the medical reports circulating online about his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, which claimed substance abuse, were authentic.
In a statement posted on his official Instagram page on Saturday and signed by the Senator’s Communication Team Lead, Nwoko addressed the growing controversy surrounding the reports, which had earlier been denied by one of the implicated hospitals.
Earlier, Serenity Royale Hospital, Abuja, had publicly distanced itself from a report claiming that the actress was diagnosed with substance use disorder and placed on a home-based detoxification programme starting September 24, 2025.
The report, signed by the hospital’s Managing Director and Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Adekunle Adesina, had gone viral before the hospital released a statement disclaiming any involvement in its publication.
However, Nwoko, in his latest statement, maintained that the reports were genuine, explaining that the hospital only denied releasing the documents, not denying authoring them.
“A medical report concerning Regina Nwoko has been circulating online. The reports are genuine,” the statement read.
“The rehabilitation centre only clarified that it did not publish or circulate the documents, which is expected because medical institutions must protect client confidentiality. They did not deny authoring the reports; their concern is the leak itself.”
The statement further urged the public to review the documents in full, stating that the reports were consistent and highlighted alarming levels of multiple substances.
“The public is encouraged to read the full reports because they explain the situation clearly and directly. Both the toxicology report and the Serenity Hospital report confirm the presence of the same substances, all at levels that pose serious health risks — Marijuana, Cocaine, Morphine, Opiates at extremely elevated levels, and Alcohol at a critically dangerous level.”
Nwoko’s team also referenced another report allegedly issued by Nizamiya Hospital, dated October 3, claiming that Regina was brought in unconscious from a drug overdose.
“The Nizamiya Hospital report dated 3rd October adds an even more troubling detail. She was brought into the hospital unconscious from a drug overdose. These facts are documented, consistent, and deeply alarming.”
The Senator’s statement went on to accuse some of Regina’s siblings of interfering with her rehabilitation, alleging that they continued to provide her with alcohol and marijuana during treatment.
“The reports also describe the challenges the rehabilitation centre faced, including persistent interference from her siblings. They openly stated that they do not see anything wrong in giving her alcohol and weed, even while she was undergoing rehabilitation. Their actions made effective treatment impossible and remain one of the major reasons she has not been able to complete rehabilitation.”
Nwoko also linked the actress’s recent online behaviour to her alleged struggles, stressing that his insistence on continued therapy stems from genuine concern for her well-being.
“Many have questioned why the Senator is insisting on therapy. His determination comes from the clear reality that several of Regina’s recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind,” the statement continued.
“She is vulnerable, unprotected, and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain. Her online behaviour reflects her current struggles, and she tends to listen more to public voices than to medical professionals or her husband.”
The statement added that private interventions had failed, and that the matter could no longer be handled discreetly given the severity of the situation.
“At this point, the question becomes: must we wait until Regina reaches a point of irreversible harm before we support her, encourage her to stop substance abuse, and help her commit to rehabilitation?”
“Distinguished Senator is genuinely and deeply concerned. His tone, his actions, and his persistence all reflect a man who wants Regina to recover, to be safe, to be clear-minded, and to be present for her two young sons.”
Concluding, Nwoko’s team reiterated that the reports were authentic, noting that the hospitals and rehabilitation centres involved were not responsible for the leak but stood by their findings.
“The reports are authentic. The hospitals and rehabilitation centres did not leak them. The findings speak for themselves. Regina needs consistent treatment, support, and protection, not denial, not interference, and not enabling. She is a mother, and she deserves the chance to regain her health and stability.”
Meanwhile, Regina Daniels has reacted to the claims, admitting to past drug use but denying that it is the source of her marital problems.
She described Nwoko’s statement as “exaggerated, manipulative, and designed to tarnish my image,” while accusing the Senator of encouraging her drug use and isolating her from family and friends.
