A Dutse magistrate has remanded Sammy West, the brother of Nigerian actress Regina Daniels, in Keffi prison. According to reports, Sammy was detained on Thursday without access to a legal representative. The news was first announced by the actress’s eldest brother, Sweezzy1, on his Instagram story, where he expressed concern that Sammy has not been allowed to call his lawyer or see his family since his arrest on Monday.
Sweezzy1 shared a video of Sammy stating, “They didn’t allow me to call my lawyer. They didn’t allow my family to see me since I was arrested on Monday. Nobody knows where I was taken to.” Sammy West was arrested in Lagos on Monday by Senator Ned Nwoko, Regina Daniels’ husband, and was allegedly flown to Abuja on a private jet. The arrest is reportedly linked to a family dispute between Regina Daniels and Senator Nwoko, who have been embroiled in a messy breakup. Senator Nwoko had accused Regina of substance abuse and claimed she was evading rehabilitation, allegations she has denied, asserting that the arrests of her brother and sister were attempts to force her into rehabilitation.
Sweezzy1 has called on the public to help uncover the nature of Sammy’s alleged offense, noting that the magistrate who remanded him has disappeared and no one is available to sign his bail. The incident has sparked concerns about the use of power and influence in the Nigerian justice system. The case remains ongoing, and Sammy West continues to remain in Keffi prison awaiting further developments. The situation underscores the need for transparency and fairness in the application of the law, regardless of social status or influence.
