Senator Ned Nwoko has revealed that the arrest of Izuegbu Anthonet, better known as Ann, the friend of his ex-wife Regina Daniels, is based on criminal allegations.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Ned Nwoko claimed that Ann made false public statements accusing him of physically assaulting his wife, Laila Nwoko, causing a miscarriage.
The senator insistef this never happened and the allegations are part of a coordinated smear campaign.
He also alleged that Ann was involved in arranging an illegal abortion for Regina Daniels during her marriage to him.
Nwoko emphasized that she killed him unborn child, noting that the act is on record and has been publicly referenced by Regina.
The lawmaker added that a police witness statement dated October 29, 2025, alleged that Ann regularly supplied and administered illegal substances to Regina and others.
He claimed the arrest followed a social media post where Ann made threats and repeated defamatory accusations against the Nwoko family.
Ned Nwoko stresses that the case is being handled by law enforcement with evidence and investigations underway, and they warn against treating it as suppression or victimisation.
The statement reads, “BASIS OF THE ARREST OF MS. IZUEGBU ANTHONET (ANN)
Following the arrest of Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet (commonly known as Ann), a number of misleading and inflammatory narratives have been circulated across social media platforms.
These claims are false, reckless, and deliberately intended to distort the facts surrounding her arrest.
For clarity and in the public interest, the following points set out the factual basis of the matter:
1. Criminal Defamation
Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet was arrested in connection with criminally defamatory statements she publicly made, alleging that Senator Ned Munir Nwoko physically assaulted his wife, Mrs. Laila Nwoko, resulting in a miscarriage. These claims are entirely false. No such incident occurred, and no miscarriage resulted from any alleged violence. The statements were made without evidence and form part of a coordinated attempt to reinforce previously circulated and unsubstantiated domestic violence allegations.
2. Procurement of an Illegal Abortion
Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet is also implicated in the procurement of an illegal abortion for Regina Daniels during her lawful marriage to Senator Ned Munir Nwoko. This incident occurred after the marriage, notwithstanding subsequent attempts to reframe the timeline. The legality of the act does not change based on narrative adjustments. The matter is on record and has previously been publicly referenced by Regina herself.
Essentially Ann killed Senator Ned Nwoko’s unborn child. The circumstances of the illegal abortion was gruesome. Ann caused Regina to swallow a bunch of weed that left her bleeding for weeks.
3. Formal Witness Statement and Ongoing Investigation
A formal witness statement dated 29 October 2025, submitted to the Area Commander, Maitama Police Station, details repeated and ongoing activities involving Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet and others. The statement noted that Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet routinely sourced, handled, and administered controlled and illegal substances to Regina and associated individuals. It further indicates the existence of identifiable suppliers, corroborative observations, and supporting details already made available to law enforcement authorities. These matters are presently under investigation by the appropriate agencies.
Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet’s arrest was directly preceded by a public social media post in which she issued threats, made derogatory remarks, and repeated defamatory accusations against Mrs. Laila Nwoko and Senator Ned Munir Nwoko. This post constituted provocation, intimidation, and criminal defamation under applicable law.
It is important to emphasise that this matter is not a social media dispute but a law-enforcement issue grounded in evidence, witness Testimonies, and due process. Any attempt to mischaracterise the arrest as suppression or victimisation is false and misleading.
The Senator and his family will continue to respect the ongoing investigation and will not engage in trial by social media. We urge the public to rely on verified facts and allow the law to take its full course.
This comes after Regina Daniels accused Ned Nwoko of having her best friend arrested over alleged theft.
