Court will scrutinise Regina Daniels’ drug test results: Ned Nwoko
Court will scrutinise Regina Daniels’ drug test results: Ned Nwoko
Ned Nwoko, senator representing Delta north, says any drug or alcohol test presented by Regina Daniels, his estranged wife, will be subjected to court scrutiny.
In a recent Instagram post, Daniels shared video footage from an unnamed hospital, showing her undergoing the test and later collecting the results.
She said the test was conducted to clear her name and denied “any use of hard drugs”.
Nwoko’s position is contained in a statement issued by his communication team in response to Daniels’ claim that she underwent a test to clear allegations of drug and alcohol addiction levelled against her.
The senator said temporary abstinence does not amount to sobriety and does not erase the underlying challenges that necessitated intervention.
He said recovery and accountability are not matters for social media engagement but require sustained effort, honesty and professional support, insisting that the conditions under which the recent test was conducted remain unclear.
He said earlier findings of drug and alcohol use by Daniels were established through assessments carried out by two independent and reputable centres in Nigeria and South Africa.
Nwoko said the reports were professionally compiled, formally documented and would be presented and defended in court, adding that the centres involved would be subpoenaed to testify to their findings.
He said presenting a later negative result as proof that no prior use occurred is “misleading and disingenuous”.
“At best, it reflects abstinence over a period of time. It does not invalidate earlier medical reports, nor does it negate what necessitated intervention in the first place,” the statement reads.
The senator said attempts to downplay the seriousness of MDMA, also known as Molly, were misplaced.
“Regardless of how casually it is referenced or repackaged in language, it is a drug. Renaming it does not alter its chemical composition, its risks, or its impact on judgement and stability,” he said.
“Healing is not episodic, and accountability is not performative.
The senator said long before the dispute became public, he explored avenues to provide support, including private rehabilitation for structured and sustained therapy for his estranged wife.
He added that a court judgement delivered last year in his favour on custody also dismissed unsubstantiated human rights abuse claims and ordered supervised therapy with evidence of compliance.
He said the process was handled discreetly to allow access to professional care and preserve family stability.
The senator said it was inaccurate to suggest consistent sobriety or dismiss prior findings based on a single test taken at a time of one’s choosing.

He said documented assessments conducted independently and professionally outweighed such claims.
“If accountability is to be invoked, then it must acknowledge the reality of a problem and willingness to address it,” he said.
“Genuine accountability requires confronting reality and committing to long-term professional support, not something to be measured by social media engagements.”
Nwoko said any test conducted anywhere in the world would face court scrutiny and must be ready to be defended when subpoenaed.
He added that the court could appoint a credible laboratory to verify claims.
“It is time for reality supported by relevant, credible and admissible evidence,” he said.
The estranged couple’s private strife erupted into public view in October when a viral video depicted the Nollywood star in tears, alleging domestic violence.
Nwoko fired back, claiming the actress was struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
Daniels later admitted to using hard drugs but accused Nwoko of orchestrating her addiction as a method of control and manipulation.
