Senator Ned Nwoko has appealed to fans, bloggers and social media users to stop attacking his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, and give her space to recover. He also warned that people spreading false reports about her health and personal life could face legal action.

Nwoko made the appeal in a statement shared on his Instagram page on Monday, November 2, 2026. He expressed concern about the circulation of false stories about Regina, including fabricated announcements claiming that she had died.

“I want to make a sincere appeal to the public, particularly Regina’s fans, friends, bloggers and social media commentators, to please give Regina some breathing space,” he said.

According to a report by Vanguard, the senator said the appeal was also for the sake of their children, who deserved to see their mother supported and given the opportunity to recover.

He added that Regina had been through a difficult period and needed love and support rather than criticism. He also referred to a video she shared on her birthday, saying it gave the public a glimpse of some of the health challenges she had been experiencing.

Nwoko expressed particular concern about false reports concerning Regina’s health and personal life. He said the actress came across many of the posts being shared online and that they caused her distress.

He also warned bloggers and social media users against deliberately spreading false information about her to attract attention and online engagement.

The senator said publications containing fabricated stories were being documented and that those responsible could be held accountable through the appropriate legal channels.

Nwoko’s statement has attracted attention from social media users, particularly those who have followed the couple’s marital problems. Reports on the statement have described the reactions as mixed.

While the appeal has brought messages about giving Regina space and showing her support, the couple’s separation and earlier public disagreements continue to attract discussion among entertainment followers.

Regina and Nwoko’s marital dispute became a major subject of online discussion in October 2025. Both made public statements during the disagreement and exchanged allegations about their relationship.

The latest statement has also brought attention to the public scrutiny that celebrities face over their private lives. Regina’s health, marriage and family matters have continued to feature in online discussions.

Nwoko said the circulation of false death announcements and misleading reports was adding to the actress’s difficulties. He urged her supporters to discourage such posts instead of sharing them.

He also maintained that Regina deserved the opportunity to recover without being subjected to fabricated stories and repeated public criticism.

Nwoko did not announce a reconciliation with Regina in his statement. His appeal was focused on her well-being, the false reports circulating online and the need for people to give her space.
