Senator Ned Nwoko and his estranged wife Regina Daniels are back in the news, this time it’s over the custody of the children they had together.
Regina Daniel had gone on social media to lament how she missed her kids and would want to have access to them, but Senator Ned Nwoko wants the Nollywood actress to go to rehab and wean herself from alleged use of drugs and also must be assessed by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before she can see her kids
In a statement shared on his X account by his communications team on Tuesday, Nwoko described Daniels’ posts as “misleading and inconsistent with long-established family practice.”
“The recent posts by Regina present a version of events that is both misleading and inconsistent with long-established family practice. Publicly sharing moments involving the children has never been new, unusual, or controversial within the family,” the statement said.
It added that the suggestion Daniels has been prevented from being present in the children’s lives is “equally misleading.”
Nwoko emphasised that the children have always been cared for in an environment prioritising routine, emotional balance, and stability.
“Children deserve a parent who is emotionally present, mentally sound, and sober most of the time. This is not an unreasonable expectation; it is the minimum standard of care any parent owes their children,” the statement added.
Nwoko also highlighted that the court had addressed these issues: “The ruling was resolved in favour of Senator Ned Nwoko, with clear directions that Regina Daniels must undergo drug rehabilitation and be assessed by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before access can be restored to Munir (5) and Khalifa (3), the children of the marriage.
“The matter has been adjourned to 4 February 2026 for hearing of the substantive suit.”
