Ned Nwoko warns bloggers over false death reports about Regina Daniels, threatens legal action

Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko has appealed to the public, particularly fans and friends of his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, to give her space to recover, warning that individuals spreading false information about her could face legal action.

Nwoko appealed in a statement shared on his Instagram page, expressing concern over the circulation of fabricated death announcements, misleading reports and hurtful content about the actress.

He said his appeal was not only for Daniels but also for their children, who deserve to see their mother supported and given every opportunity to recover.

“I want to make a sincere appeal to the public, particularly Regina’s fans, friends, bloggers and social media commentators, to please give Regina some breathing space,” he stated.

The senator said Daniels had been through a lot and needed love, support and an opportunity to heal rather than public criticism and judgment.

“Regina has been through a lot, more than many people may realise, and right now, what she needs most is love, support and the opportunity to recover,” he said.

Nwoko also referenced a video Daniels shared on her birthday, explaining that it offered a glimpse into some of the health challenges she had been dealing with.

He stressed that her situation should not become an opportunity for people to judge or vilify her.

The lawmaker further stated that Daniels’ well-being had always been important to him, adding that concerns about her welfare contributed to his decision to make certain aspects of their private situation public.

He expressed particular concern over reports falsely announcing the actress’s death, as well as other misleading claims about her health and personal circumstances.

“These things are not harmless social media engagement. Regina sees many of these posts, and they are deeply distressing. They do nothing to support her recovery; rather, they add to the burden she is already carrying,” he said.

Nwoko urged the actress’s fans and supporters to discourage the circulation of such reports instead of amplifying them.

He also cautioned bloggers and social media users against deliberately publishing false information about Daniels, particularly claims concerning her death, health and personal life.

“We are documenting these publications, and anyone found responsible will be held accountable through the appropriate legal channels,” he warned.
