ABUJA (CONVERSEER) – The Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Sen. Ned Nwoko, has clarified the allegations surrounding his marriage to Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels.
Recall that Nwoko’s wife has been quite outspoken regarding her recent marriage experiences. She even alleged domestic abuse.
In a recent development, she alleged that her husband married her at the age of 17. A strong statement that has divided the social media, with some social media in-laws already calling her husband a “paedophile.”
In a social media post on Thursday, Sen. Nwoko clarified that his first meeting with Regina Daniels already showed she was 21.
He said documents he collected from his wife showed she was 27 years as of October this year, as against the 23 and 24 she and the internet are claiming.
The Voter’s Card presented by Nwoko showed Regina Daniels was born on 10th October 1998.

“It has come to my attention that false claims are being circulated by Regina, suggesting that I married her when she was 17 years old. These claims are entirely untrue and misleading.
“For clarity, during my first meeting with Regina, I asked her age, and she told me she was 21 years old. I further asked if she had any document to support this, and she presented her inec voter’s card, which clearly shows that she was born on October 10th, 1998. I informed her that I would keep this document in my possession, and I have done so since that day.
“I have also seen a BBC interview Her mom granted after our marriage regarding her age.
“According to all verifiable records, our marriage took place six years ago, which means Regina is 27 years old today. Any suggestion that I married her at 17 is false and should not be accepted by the public.
“The facts are verifiable and indisputable. Until this is done, I urge the public to approach all her claims with caution and discernment especially taking into account her current mental condition having started and abandoned her rehabilitation from illegal drug addiction,” Nwoko’s post on X (formerly Twitter) read.
