Police arraign Regina Daniels’ brother in Abuja

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has confirmed that Samuel Ojeogwu, brother to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has been charged before a court in Abuja for alleged involvement in criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, and theft.

This was disclosed in a statement on Friday by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, who said the charges stemmed from a petition submitted to the FCT Metro Area Command on October 28, 2025, implicating Ojeogwu and three others.

She stated, “On 28th October 2025, the FCT Metro Area Command received a petition against one Mr Samuel Ojeogwu and three others, alleging criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, criminal intimidation, theft, and cyberbullying.”

According to Adeh, Ojeogwu ignored multiple police invitations before his eventual arrest in Lagos and subsequent transfer to Abuja.

“Upon receipt of the petition, several invitations were extended to Mr Samuel Ojeogwu by the Metro Area Command for questioning, which were not honoured. Mr Ojeogwu was arrested in Lagos on the authority of a duly issued arrest warrant from a competent court and subsequently conveyed to Abuja for further investigation,” Adeh said.

The police spokesperson added that the suspect was arraigned after the conclusion of investigations.

“Upon the conclusion of investigations, the suspect was on the 6th of November 2025 charged in court for offences bordering on criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, assault, criminal intimidation, and theft. He has been remanded by the court pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions,” Adeh stated.

She reaffirmed the command’s dedication to professionalism and adherence to due process, saying, “The FCT Police Command remains committed to professional policing, due process, and the rule of law.”

The development comes amid heightened family drama surrounding Regina Daniels, who recently appeared in a viral video weeping over her brother’s detention.

In the video, she broke down emotionally, saying, “I will go back,” while lamenting her family’s current ordeal.

Her emotional outburst followed weeks of online speculation about her marriage to Senator Ned Nwoko, whom she had accused of domestic violence in an earlier social media post.

Nwoko has since denied the allegations, attributing her actions to alleged substance abuse. He claimed that Regina’s “current battle with substance abuse” had strained their relationship and said she needed rehabilitation.
