“You introduced me to drugs” — Regina Daniels’s co wife, Laila, fires back

The marital crisis between Nollywood actress and filmmaker Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has taken a new twist as the senator’s fifth wife, Laila Charani, publicly accused Regina of drug and alcohol addiction.

The controversy, which has dominated social media discussions for days, revolves around allegations of drug abuse, domestic violence, underage marriage, and the detention of Regina’s brother, Samuel “Sammy West” Ojeogwu.

Laila Fires Back at Regina’s Claims

In a statement shared via her Instagram page on Thursday, Laila refuted Regina’s claims that she (Regina) had financially supported her and her children during Sammy West’s detention.

“How dare you say that you ever gave me money? For what exactly?” Laila wrote. “I am very content with the provisions my husband makes for our family. You also know that my husband completely hates alcohol, drugs, and smoking. The only reason you are fighting him is because he wants you to stop your drug and alcohol addiction.”

According to the Moroccan-born entrepreneur, Mr Nwoko has always maintained a zero-tolerance stance toward substance use within his household.

“You Introduced Me to Drugs,” Laila Alleges

Laila further accused Regina of introducing her—and several others in the household—to drug use, claiming that the senator’s intervention helped her overcome the addiction.

“You know too well that I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs six years ago,” she wrote. “It was my husband’s insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path. You have been a bad influence since you married into this family—giving drugs to nannies, workers, and even your younger sister, Destiny.”

Laila added that she no longer trusts Regina around her daughters, alleging inappropriate behavior and a toxic influence within the family circle.

A Strained Relationship

Reports indicate that Regina and Laila once shared a cordial relationship, often appearing together at family gatherings and on Regina’s social media pages between 2020 and 2021.

However, tensions reportedly escalated following Laila’s brief separation from Senator Nwoko in 2021. When she returned to the marriage in 2022, the family dynamics shifted, and Regina’s public interactions with her co-wife noticeably declined.

As of press time, neither Regina Daniels nor Senator Ned Nwoko has issued an official response to the latest allegations.
