Hospital denies issuing drug test on Regina Daniels as brother alleges PVC was forged

Fresh controversy erupted Friday over the age and alleged drug use of actress Regina Daniels after her brother, Sweezzy, accused Senator Ned Nwoko of circulating a forged voter’s card purportedly belonging to her.

He alleged the document was produced “in his sitting room,” intensifying the dispute already playing out publicly.

His claims surfaced the same day Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja—known for substance-abuse treatment and psychological care—formally distanced itself from a widely shared medical report suggesting Regina tested positive for several hard drugs.

Earlier, it was reported that Mr. Nwoko had posted what he claimed was Regina’s voter card to refute allegations that he married her at 17.

The card he shared lists her birth year as 1998. But the politician’s own statement issued on Monday said she was born on 10 October 2000 and married him at 19, creating further inconsistencies.

Taking to Instagram, Sweezzy wrote: “Fake doctors report. Fake marriage certificate. Fake voter’s card. A voter’s card was printed in Ned Nwoko’s sitting room at Ugboko. That’s her only document that carries Daniel’s, and all others carry Ojeogwu. The oldest document will be presented for evidence in a court of law. I’d advise you to desist from this falsifying behaviour and be upright. Regina never went with you to any registry, just in case you post the fabricated Marriage certificate too.

“Regina was born on 10 October 2001. You might need to tell the world what happened when Regina introduced you, Ned Nwoko, to me in May 2019. I was never in support, but as a blood decision, no yawa. I can only advise a brother and not dictate like you do.”

He also rejected Mr. Nwoko’s accusation that he and his siblings used cocaine, adding that Regina had often claimed the lawmaker leveraged his illness to emotionally blackmail her.

“You should be resting, you know? You’re too old for these lies, and I’m highly disappointed. Neither I nor any of my siblings has ever been involved in the intake of cocaine. It’s ridiculously outrageous to state that I’m a supplier of these drugs. Quick question for Mr Ned Nwoko: What samples were given to the hospital, and how were they collected? Or is this your result? I rest my case! Let old behave like old and young behave like old if possible,” he said.

On Thursday, a document circulated online claiming Regina tested positive for marijuana, cocaine, morphine, opiates and alcohol. Serenity Royale Hospital publicly rejected the report, saying it did not originate from the facility.

A statement signed by its management and shared on Instagram read: “Our attention has been drawn to a post (on an alleged midterm home detox report) being circulated online in the name of Serenity Royale Hospital regarding Mrs Nwoko Regina.

“We wish to state clearly that the publication and circulation of the said post containing classified information did not emanate from us and respectfully request the public to disregard the same. We remain committed to high-standard medical practice with a huge commitment to ensuring medical confidentiality.”

Responding to the hospital’s disclaimer, Regina said she was relieved, noting she initially contemplated legal action when the document first emerged.

“Thank you for this. Knowing the owner of this hospital is a family friend made me almost go crazy and sue you all. But thanks for standing by the truth despite knowing you’re a big fish in the family, saving your hospital, and just doing the right thing. So thanks, and let me kill this,” she wrote on her Instagram Story.

The disputed medical report surfaced shortly after Laila Charani, Mr. Nwoko’s fifth wife, alleged that Regina once introduced her to drug use and levelled additional claims about her behaviour, including accusations of lesbianism.

“For the record,” Laila said, “You infected everyone with your virus, and this is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised, especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you. I say this not out of anger, but from a place of truth and concern for the level of lies you are peddling for reasons known to you alone.”

Regina fired back in a statement on Instagram, insisting that same-sex relationships are not shameful and challenging Laila to provide proof.

“First off! Openly saying you can’t leave kids around me is the most useless and hurtful thing Ned ordered his wife to speak. I’m such a mother to many children that it’s quite tiring. Also, saying I sleep with every single girl? Truthfully, sleeping with the same gender isn’t a thing that I consider shameful, but how is the other woman so certain? Lol.

“Is she certain because I slept with her, too? I hope she also knows that if not for the polygamy disadvantages, her son and mine can’t be together because of all the atrocities we have caught him doing that I will never mention! But my son loves him, so what can I do? Ned better protect my kids! Their foundation is the ultimate; do not use them to weaken me!”

The ongoing dispute erupted in October when Regina accused Mr. Nwoko of physically assaulting her and declared her intention to end the marriage. The lawmaker countered by alleging drug abuse. The conflict has since grown to include accusations of underage marriage, the alleged detention of Regina’s brother Samuel “Sammy West” Ojeogwu, and worsening tensions within the household.

Though Regina and Laila had appeared publicly cordial between 2020 and 2021, their relationship reportedly became strained after Laila’s separation from Mr. Nwoko in 2021. Her return to the marriage in 2022 is said to have further altered the family dynamic, with observers noting the actresses’ increasingly distant interactions.
