Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko has addressed allegations surrounding his marriage to actress Regina Daniels, stating that she claimed to be 21 years old when they first met. According to Nwoko, Daniels provided him with documents, including her Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voter’s card, as proof of her age. The card allegedly shows that she was born on October 10, 1998.

The couple’s marriage has been marred by controversy, with Daniels accusing Nwoko of domestic violence and Nwoko claiming that Daniels uses hard drugs and needs rehabilitation. Daniels has countered that Nwoko introduced her to hard drugs in an attempt to make her more outgoing.

Nwoko has denied claims that he married Daniels when she was 17 years old, stating that she presented herself as 21 years old during their initial meeting. He claims to have retained her INEC voter’s card as evidence of her age. Nwoko also referenced a BBC interview with Daniels’ mother, which he says discusses her daughter’s age after their marriage.

The controversy surrounding the couple’s marriage has sparked widespread attention, with many questioning the circumstances of their union. Nwoko’s statement aims to clarify the situation, providing what he claims is evidence of Daniels’ age at the time of their meeting. The situation highlights the importance of verifying information and the potential consequences of misinformation.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the allegations and counter-allegations will be resolved. The couple’s marital issues have sparked a wider conversation about domestic violence, substance abuse, and the importance of verifying information. With Nwoko’s statement, the focus has shifted to the question of Daniels’ age at the time of their marriage and the evidence supporting her claimed age.
