“Regina Daniels must undergo drug rehabilitation” – Ned Nwoko reacts as Regina says, “I’ll definitely see my kids soon.”

Senator Ned Nwoko has rejected recent social media claims by his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels, regarding their children, saying she has not been denied access to them.

He stated that Daniels’ absence from the children’s lives was by choice and guided by existing court directives, not deliberate restriction.

Court ruling and rehabilitation order

In a statement shared on his X account on Tuesday by his communications team, Nwoko said a court had already ruled on the matter.

According to him, the court directed Daniels to undergo rehabilitation and assessment by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before access to the children could be restored.

He described Daniels’ recent 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.

The statement added that suggestions she had been excluded from the children’s lives were “equally misleading.”

Children’s welfare and stability

Nwoko stressed that the children have always been raised in an environment focused on 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.

The senator was responding to a post made by Daniels on Monday, where she spoke about the emotional pain of being separated from her children.

She said no mother could be at peace under such circumstances and expressed hope of reuniting with them soon.

“I may be young, but I am such a mum, I enjoy being a mum and I miss being a mum. I will definitely see my kids soon!”

Adjournment and compliance call

Nwoko further referenced the court’s decision, saying: “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.”

He urged Daniels to comply fully with the court’s directives, warning that continued online commentary risked “using the children as emotional shields to deflect from unresolved personal issues.”

Nwoko concluded by expressing hope that the period ahead would be used for recovery and healing, rather than renewed online controversy.
