Regina Daniels age controversy Nigerias Senator Ned Nwoko speaks

Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko has responded to allegations surrounding his marriage to actress Regina Daniels, asserting that Daniels told him she was 21 when they first met. According to Nwoko, Daniels supplied documents—including her Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voter’s card—as proof of her age, which reportedly shows a birthdate of 10 October 1998.

The marriage has been fraught with controversy. Daniels has accused Nwoko of domestic violence, while Nwoko has claimed that Daniels uses hard drugs and needs rehabilitation. Daniels, in turn, alleges that Nwoko introduced her to hard drugs in an attempt to make her more outgoing.

Nwoko denies marrying Daniels when she was 17, maintaining that she presented herself as 21 at their initial meeting and that he retained her INEC voter’s card as evidence. He also cited a BBC interview with Daniels’ mother, which he says discusses his daughter’s age after the marriage.

The dispute has attracted widespread attention, prompting many to question the circumstances of the union. Nwoko’s statement aims to clarify the situation by providing what he claims is concrete evidence of Daniels’ age at the time they met. The controversy underscores the importance of verifying information and the potential consequences of misinformation.

As the allegations and counter‑allegations continue to unfold, the focus has shifted to Daniels’ age at the time of the marriage and the evidence supporting her claimed age, while broader conversations about domestic violence, substance abuse, and information verification persist.
