HURIWA backs Ned Nwoko’s call for Regina Daniels’ rehabilitation

Civil rights advocacy group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has thrown its weight behind the recent public appeal by Senator Ned Nwoko urging his wife, popular actress Regina Daniels, to undergo rehabilitation to address alleged drug abuse and safeguard her health.

Senator Nwoko, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, said in an interview with journalists on Sunday that the decision was motivated by concerns for his wife’s well-being and her ability to raise their two young children.

According to the lawmaker, the move follows toxicology reports indicating “worrying levels of harmful substances” in the actress’s system. He added that Regina’s previously calm personality had “changed drastically in recent months,” with signs of violent behaviour and recurring health challenges.

Reacting to the development, HURIWA said it supports Nwoko’s stance, describing it as “an act of love and concern” aimed at helping the actress regain stability.

In a statement signed by the group’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA urged Regina Daniels to “embrace the challenge” as an opportunity to “preserve and rebuild her life” for the sake of her children.

“We have had the privilege to review parts of the medical report and witness statements submitted to the police in Maitama, Abuja,” the group said.
“Professional rehabilitation centres offer the right environment, therapy, and detoxification support to help an individual recover fully—physically, mentally, and emotionally.”

The organization further emphasized the importance of rehabilitation as a holistic process involving medical treatment, nutrition, therapy, and spiritual renewal.

“Overuse of drugs can poison the system and affect several body functions. With appropriate rehabilitation that includes massage, yoga, and nutritional therapy, one can regain optimal health and happiness,” the statement added.

HURIWA concluded by encouraging the actress to seek help promptly, noting that professional recovery programs “work hand in hand with detox facilities” to ensure complete and safe rehabilitation.
