The highly publicised marital crisis between Regina Daniels and her husband Ned Nwoko has taken another turn, with the actress claiming he has filed for full custody of their children.
The couple’s private strife erupted into public view in October when a viral video depicted Daniels in tears, alleging domestic violence.
The lawmaker fired back, claiming his wife was struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
Daniels later admitted to using hard drugs but accused Nwoko of orchestrating her addiction as a method of control and manipulation.
In a recent Instagram post, the actress shared a video of herself talking to her children, adding that although people may believe she is happy, the pain of being apart from them has been overwhelming.
Daniels explained that her initial decision to remain silent was intentional, noting that she did not want the situation to define or imprison her.
She accused Nwoko of deliberately exposing them to public scrutiny, describing the move as a calculated attempt to attract negative attention.
“People may believe that I am happy, but no mother can be at peace while separated from her children. I chose not to allow that pain to define or imprison me, which is why it took time for me to walk away,” she wrote.

“The repeated public exposure of my children, reflects a troubling and deliberate pursuit of negative attention by their father. It is implausible that a public figure, particularly one with legislative experience would be unaware that posting our children publicly in this time would inevitably attract media scrutiny.”
Questioning his motives, Daniels said the actions made it reasonable to doubt whether they were driven by parental responsibility or public engagement.
She further disclosed that she has not spoken to her children since mid-November, alleging that Nwoko filed for full custody despite already having the children in his care.
She claimed that the senator had not only dismissed her nannies but also coerced them to lie against her, accusing her of “violence and alcohol abuse”.
“These actions make it reasonable to question whether his behavior is motivated by public engagement rather than parental responsibility. I decided to stay off the matter to avoid causing more nuisance on this media space but clearly this man keeps acting like a baby,” she said.
“Meaning it’s now safe to call this one term senator a content creator one. The last time I spoke to my kids was mid November. Ned dismissed all my nannies, pressured them into making false statements accusing me of violence and alcohol abuse in front of the children, and has since filed for full custody, despite already having the children in his care.
“I am left to wonder whether I am truly such a threat that I am being challenged so aggressively. I may be young, but I am such a mum, I enjoy being a mum and I miss being a mum. It’s so crazy if their father thinks I won’t come for my children. I will definitely see my kids soon.”
The actress recently revealed that she would not consider remarrying as the institution had traumatised her.
The senator representing Delta North earlier declared that he does not want Regina to return home.
