Regina Daniels’ Eldest Brother Lawrence Fires Back at Ned Nwoko Over Drug Allegations

The ongoing drama surrounding Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her billionaire husband Senator Ned Nwoko has taken another turn, as her eldest brother, Lawrence Ojeogwu, publicly responded to allegations made by Nwoko.

After Ned claimed in a statement that Regina and her siblings are all drug addicts, Lawrence took to Instagram to call him a “liar” and a “manipulator.” He also refuted Ned’s accusations against actresses Sonia Ogala and Uche Montana, who Nwoko suggested were involved in drug use alongside Regina.

Lawrence specifically denied claims that Ned was responsible for his relocation to the UK, including the alleged $75,000 supposedly sent for him or his younger brother, Sammy. He questioned why, if Ned had genuinely facilitated his move, he had not offered the same opportunity to his own daughter who was willing to travel.

He also called for the release of his younger brother Sammy, pointing out the hypocrisy in Ned’s actions:

“When Sammy was mobilising youths to vote for Ned, I did not see him as a drug addict. But now, because he defended Regina, he is being tagged one.”

💭 Opinion: A Family Feud Under Public Scrutiny

The conflict between Regina Daniels’ family and Ned Nwoko highlights the complexities of celebrity marriages intertwined with wealth, politics, and public perception. Lawrence’s response underscores the tension between personal loyalty and public accusations, especially in cases where family members are defending each other under intense media spotlight.

In an era of viral social media posts, this saga also shows how allegations can escalate quickly, affecting reputations and personal relationships. While the truth may only emerge fully in legal or private channels, Lawrence’s statements reflect a desire to protect family integrity and challenge public misinformation.

Ultimately, this dispute is a reminder of how celebrity lives are often magnified under public scrutiny, making private family disagreements a matter of national conversation—and sometimes, judgment.
