Ned Nwoko reveals why police arrested Regina Daniels’ friend Ann
Story Highlights
On January 19, 2026, Senator Ned Munir Nwoko issued a formal statement explaining the arrest of Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet, known as Ann. The document accuses her of criminally defaming the Senator regarding his wife Laila and procuring an illegal abortion for Regina Daniels using dangerous substances.

Senator Ned Munir Nwoko released a detailed statement on January 19, 2026, to address what his team calls misleading narratives surrounding the detention of the woman commonly known as Ann.
Social media users have circulated various claims about the incident, prompting the Senator to clarify the legal basis for the police action. The statement outlines serious allegations involving criminal defamation and the termination of an unborn child.
Criminal defamation and false claims
Senator Nwoko’s communication team asserts that the police arrested Ms. Izuegbu primarily for making damaging public statements. The document states that Ann accused the Senator of physically assaulting his wife, Mrs. Laila Nwoko, and causing a miscarriage.
The Senator categorically denies these allegations. His team describes the claims as “entirely false” and reckless. The statement clarifies that no such violence occurred and Mrs. Laila Nwoko did not suffer a miscarriage due to any assault.
According to the release, these accusations lacked evidence and served as a coordinated attempt to spread baseless rumors about domestic violence within the Nwoko household. The legal team views this as a direct violation of defamation laws rather than a simple online disagreement.
Allegations of illegal abortion
The most shocking part of the statement involves a claim regarding Regina Daniels. Senator Nwoko alleges that Ann played a central role in procuring an illegal abortion for Regina during their lawful marriage.
The document describes the circumstances of the alleged abortion as “gruesome.” It claims Ann caused Regina to swallow a large quantity of “weed,” which left the actress bleeding for weeks. The Senator states that this act effectively ended the life of his unborn child.

The statement notes that this incident happened after the marriage began. It dismisses any attempts to change the timeline of events as irrelevant to the legality of the act. The release mentions that Regina herself has previously referenced this matter publicly, placing it on record.
Ongoing investigation and witness statements
The police involvement appears to stem from a long-running investigation. A formal witness statement submitted to the Area Commander at Maitama Police Station on October 29, 2025, details these activities.
The witness statement alleges that Ann routinely sourced and administered illegal substances to Regina Daniels and others. Investigators have reportedly identified suppliers and gathered corroborative observations to support these claims.

Senator Nwoko’s team emphasizes that this is a strict law enforcement issue. They argue that Ann’s recent social media post, which contained threats and derogatory remarks, acted as the final provocation for the arrest. The family has urged the public to rely on facts rather than social media sentiment as the legal process continues.

Story Highlights

On January 17, 2026, the activist vowed to hire a lawyer for the detainee if the couple refuses to release her, insisting the dispute is a civil matter for the courts.
Image Credit: Instagram / @verydarkblackman / @mercyjohnsonokojieSocial critic Verydarkman has publicly criticized Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson Okojie and her husband, Prince Okojie, accusing them of using their influence to intimidate a citizen.
The activist released a video on Saturday, January 17, 2026, addressing the reported arrest of a lady who allegedly defamed the couple. Verydarkman described the detention as a clear abuse of power and demanded the immediate release of the suspect.
This intervention comes just weeks after Verydarkman claims Carter Efe is oppressor in messy breakup saga, highlighting his consistent stance against perceived bullying by public figures.
The pregnancy claim and arrest
The conflict began a few weeks ago when the unnamed lady made a video accusing Prince Okojie of infidelity.
She claimed the politician impregnated another woman who subsequently lost the pregnancy.Reports indicate that the actress and her husband responded by involving the police, leading to the lady’s arrest.
Verydarkman argues that while the claims may be false, the reaction from the couple is excessive and oppressive. He stated that he received numerous pleas regarding the lady’s plight and felt compelled to speak up.
Activist threatens legal action
The social commentator insisted that defamation is a civil offense that should be settled in a court of law, not through police cells. He challenged the couple to release the lady immediately or face a legal battle.
Verydarkman promised to use his own funds to secure a lawyer for the detainee if the Okojies fail to let her go. He emphasized that he does not fear their social status or influence.
Accusations of hypocrisy
The activist also accused Mercy Johnson of double standards regarding online attacks and defamation.He recalled how the actress supported her friend Regina Daniels during a family feud involving Regina’s brother, Samuel.
Verydarkman pointed out that Mercy Johnson urges release of Regina Daniels brother Sammy despite similar tensions, yet she now uses police power against her own critic.
He noted that Regina Daniels’ mother also made damaging comments about Ned Nwoko during that period, yet Mercy Johnson remained supportive.
According to Verydarkman, the actress cannot pick and choose when defamation matters based on who is involved.

Story Highlights
Sammy West, the brother of Nollywood star Regina Daniels, lamented on January 15, 2026, about his grueling 12-hour journey to Abuja in handcuffs. He questioned why police officers drove him by road while Regina’s friend, Ann, was transported in a private jet regarding the same case involving Senator Ned Nwoko.
Image Credit Social Media / InstagramThe ongoing family dispute between actress Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, has taken a dramatic turn.

He revealed the details of his ordeal in a social media post on January 15, 2026, sparking fresh conversations about the power dynamics at play. According to Sammy, the difference in how he and Regina’s best friend, Ann, were treated during their transfer to Abuja was stark and confusing.
Disparity in transport raises eyebrows
Sammy West expressed his frustration on Instagram, questioning the logic behind the police’s decision making. He stated that officers handcuffed him and forced him to endure a 12-hour road trip to the capital city.
In contrast, he noted that authorities flew Ann to the same destination aboard a private jet. “Wetin man do man!” Sammy exclaimed, highlighting the unequal treatment despite both parties facing arrest in connection with the same matter.
