In a dramatic twist to the ongoing crisis surrounding Nollywood star Regina Daniels and her marriage to Senator Ned Nwoko, the actress has revealed that her estranged parents have reunited after years apart, all in a bid to secure the release of her detained brother, Sammy West.
The unexpected reconciliation between her mother, veteran actress Rita Daniels, and her father, Barrister Jude Ojeogwu, comes at a time when family tensions have taken center stage in the public eye. While Rita has been outspoken about the controversies trailing her daughter’s marriage, Ojeogwu has largely maintained silence until now.
Taking to her verified Facebook page on Thursday, Regina confirmed that both parents have set aside their long-standing differences to stand united for their family. She wrote that their reunion carried “no negative ulterior motive other than their daughter’s happiness,” a statement that has since sparked a wave of emotional reactions online.
The actress, who is reportedly enraged over her brother’s detention, has also threatened to storm Abuja if efforts to secure his release continue to be frustrated. Her post has been interpreted by many as a sign of growing tension between her family and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, amid reports of arrests linked to the family’s attempt to end the marriage traditionally.
Observers see the reunion of Regina’s parents as a rare show of unity in the face of crisis, with many fans describing it as a touching reminder that family bonds often prevail when tested by adversity.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes remain on Abuja, where Regina Daniels’ next move may determine how far this family drama will go and whether peace can truly be restored between the actress, her parents, and her powerful husband.
