Senator representing Delta North senatorial district in the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has urged the public to approach the claims of his estranged wife cum Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, with caution, especially taking into account her current mental condition, having started and abandoned her rehabilitation from illegal drug addiction.
Naijaonpoint reports that Nwoko made the remark while dismissing claims made by Regina Daniels, suggesting that he married her when she was 17.
In a statement via his Facebook on Thursday, Ned Nwoko described the allegation as untrue and misleading, noting that he asked Regina about her age when they first met and she told him she was 21.
The lawmaker explained that the movie star also presented her voter card at the time, which showed she was born on October 10, 1998, and has kept the card in his possession since then.
According to Ned, Regina’s mother, Rita, also confirmed her daughter’s age in an interview granted shortly after their marriage.
He insisted that all available records prove their marriage took place six years ago, which means Regina is now 27 years old.
To further support his claims, Nwoko shared an image of Regina Daniels’ old voter card, which contains her date of birth.
He wrote, “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.”
