Billionaire politician Ned Nwoko has been urged to make himself available so that he can collect the bride price he paid for his estranged wife Regina Daniels.
Members of the Ogwashi-Uku community in Delta State, in a letter signed by Favour Awele Obi gave the Senator representing Delta North 48 hours to collect the bride price. They also urged him to stop the harassment of Regina Daniels family members.
Community members stated that their tradition allows a woman to leave a marriage if she chooses, and her family must return the bride price to end the union formally.
According to them, Regina’s family had made several attempts to return the payment, but Nwoko allegedly refused to accept it.
They said if he continues to reject it, the money would be placed at the Ikeleke Quarter in Ogwashi-Uku, a traditional action that would signify the end of the marriage.
The letter, shared online by Regina’s brother, Sweezzy, and actor Stanley Ontop, urged Nwoko to uphold peace by allowing tradition to take its course and ensuring that those detained are released.
