A fresh wave of controversy has hit Nigerian politician and businessman Senator Ned Nwoko’s polygamous household after his Moroccan wife, Laila Charani, publicly accused her co-wife and popular Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, of introducing her to drugs and engaging in lesbian acts.
The shocking allegations surfaced on Instagram, where Charani took to her verified page to react to a post allegedly made by Regina Daniels claiming that Nwoko’s other wives were involved in drug use. In a lengthy post, Charani vehemently denied the claim, stating instead that it was Daniels who exposed her to drug addiction years ago.
“You know too well that I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs six years ago,” Charani wrote. “It was my husband’s quick insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path.”
Charani alleged that it took the intervention of their husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, to save her from the damaging effects of drug use. She further claimed that Daniels, who has two sons with the lawmaker, has been battling with drug and alcohol addiction — an issue that has allegedly strained her relationship with Nwoko.
“The only reason you are fighting with our husband is because he wants you to stop taking drugs and alcohol,” Charani claimed. “He doesn’t smoke or drink, and he can’t tolerate such behaviour.”
In another part of her statement, the Moroccan mother of three accused the actress of being a bad influence on the household, alleging that Daniels introduced drugs to domestic staff and even her younger sister, Destiny.
“You have been a bad influence since you married into this beautiful family, giving drugs to nannies and our workers, including your younger sister Destiny. You infested everyone with your virus,” she wrote.
Charani went further to accuse Regina Daniels of lesbianism, alleging that she had inappropriate relationships with women around her. “This is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised, especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you,” she stated.
The explosive post, which has since gone viral across multiple social media platforms, has sparked widespread reactions among fans and observers. While some social media users have expressed shock and disbelief over the allegations, others have called for caution, urging both women to refrain from airing family matters publicly.
Some fans accused Laila Charani of attempting to tarnish Regina Daniels’ image out of jealousy, while others questioned why she chose to make such serious claims on social media instead of handling the matter privately.
A user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “If Laila’s allegations are true, then Regina has some serious issues to deal with. But if this is just drama, then it’s disappointing that grown women are turning their family into a public circus.”
Another user commented on Instagram, saying, “Laila should have settled this privately. Bringing it online only makes the family look disorganized. They have children watching all this.”
As of the time of this report, Regina Daniels has not issued any response to the allegations. The actress, who is also a film producer and brand influencer, has continued to post pictures and promotional content on her official social media pages, ignoring the ongoing controversy.
Meanwhile, Senator Ned Nwoko, a member of the Nigerian Senate representing Delta North, has also not made any public statement regarding the dispute between his wives. Nwoko, known for his quiet demeanor, has often been in the news due to his marriage to Regina Daniels in 2019, which generated intense public debate because of their significant age difference.
Entertainment analysts note that the latest rift between Laila and Regina may further strain the family’s public image, which has often been under scrutiny due to frequent controversies surrounding the lawmaker’s polygamous home.
According to social media observers, this latest development underscores the recurring tension within the Nwoko household. “There’s always drama coming from that family — either about jealousy, attention, or who’s favoured more,” one entertainment blogger remarked. “But these are serious allegations that could have legal or social consequences if proven true.”
Despite the controversy, Regina Daniels remains one of Nigeria’s most influential young actresses and social media personalities, boasting millions of followers across various platforms. Her marriage to Ned Nwoko has afforded her significant media attention and influence within Nollywood and beyond.
As the story continues to unfold, fans are eagerly waiting to see whether Regina Daniels will respond to Laila Charani’s accusations or maintain her silence.
For now, the Nwoko family’s name continues to dominate headlines, with the latest drama once again bringing their private affairs into the public spotlight.
