Nigerian senator Ned Nwoko has appealed to the public to give his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, privacy as she navigates personal and health challenges.
In a statement issued on Monday, November 2, 2026, Nwoko urged fans, bloggers and commentators to stop judging or vilifying the actress.
The Delta North senator also condemned false reports about Daniels’ health and alleged death rumours. He warned that those spreading malicious claims could face legal action.
Nwoko Asks Public to Give Regina Space
Nwoko said Daniels needed understanding and breathing space rather than public criticism.
He urged social media users to consider the impact their comments and online publications could have on her well-being. The senator also called on friends, fans and bloggers to avoid turning her private struggles into public debate.
Senator Warns Against False Health Reports
Nwoko strongly criticised fabricated death announcements and misleading reports about Daniels’ health and personal life.
He said his team was documenting publications considered malicious or false. He warned that legal action could follow against individuals responsible, including anonymous social media accounts.
The statement comes amid heightened public attention surrounding the couple’s widely reported marital crisis.
Regina Daniels Previously Spoke About Severe Pain
The appeal follows a birthday video Daniels shared in October 2026, in which she appeared in a wheelchair. The actress spoke about experiencing severe pain that had affected her ability to walk freely for several months.
However, she did not publicly identify a specific medical diagnosis in the video. Nwoko’s statement did not provide further medical details about her condition.
Appeal Also Highlights Their Two Sons
The senator also referenced the couple’s two young sons, Munir and Khalifa. He said the children deserved to see their mother treated with care and support while their well-being remained a priority.
His appeal placed renewed focus on the family’s private circumstances amid ongoing public discussion of the marriage.
Nwoko Calls for Responsible Online Reporting
Nwoko’s statement urged the public to distinguish verified information from speculation, particularly when discussing someone’s health.
His warning also highlighted the potential legal consequences of publishing false or malicious claims. He called for greater restraint as Daniels deals with personal challenges away from public scrutiny.
