Senator Ned Nwoko has reacted to claims making the rounds online that his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has been separated from her children against her will. The lawmaker dismissed the allegation, describing it as untrue and misleading.

The development was first reported by TVC News via its official Instagram page, giving the story immediate credibility and sparking widespread reactions across social media. According to the report, Ned Nwoko denied ever taking the children away from their mother or preventing her from having access to them.

Regina Daniels had earlier shared emotional posts suggesting she had been away from her children for weeks, a move that stirred sympathy and concern among her followers. Many interpreted her posts as an indication that the children had been forcibly taken from her, leading to intense online speculation and heated conversations.

Responding to the situation, Senator Ned Nwoko insisted that the narrative being pushed does not reflect reality. He maintained that at no point were the children taken from their mother and that claims suggesting otherwise were inaccurate. According to him, the situation has been exaggerated online, creating unnecessary drama around what he described as a private family matter.

The lawmaker also cautioned against turning sensitive family issues into a public spectacle, especially when children are involved. He emphasised that decisions concerning the children were made with their well-being in mind and urged the public to avoid drawing conclusions based solely on social media posts.

As expected, the story has continued to divide opinions. While some Nigerians have rallied behind Regina Daniels, citing a mother’s emotional bond with her children, others have called for restraint, pointing out that family disputes are often more complex than they appear online.

So far, Regina Daniels has not issued a detailed response to Ned’s latest statement, leaving many questions unanswered. With limited official information available, the situation remains one where both sides’ perspectives are being closely watched.

For now, one thing is clear: the ongoing back-and-forth has once again highlighted how quickly personal family matters can spiral into national conversations in the age of social media, especially when public figures are involved.

Netizens are on the lookout as the ongoing family court proceedings between Senator Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels are set to continue when the case resumes on 4 February 2026.
