Senator Prince Ned Nwoko has clarified that his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels, has not been barred from seeing their children, stating that any absence has been by her choice.
He emphasized that a court ruling requires Daniels to undergo rehabilitation and be evaluated by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before access to their children can be restored.
In a statement shared on his X account by his communications team on Tuesday, Nwoko described Daniels’ recent social media posts about their children as “misleading and inconsistent with long-established family practice.”
“The recent posts by Regina present a version of events that is both misleading and inconsistent with long-established family practice. Publicly sharing moments involving the children has never been new, unusual, or controversial within the family,” the statement read.
Nwoko added that the notion Daniels has been prevented from being present in her children’s lives is also inaccurate.
“Children deserve a parent who is emotionally present, mentally sound, and sober most of the time. This is not an unreasonable expectation; it is the minimum standard of care any parent owes their children,” he said.
The statement came a day after Daniels posted about the pain of being separated from her children, writing, “I may be young, but I am such a mum, I enjoy being a mum and I miss being a mum. I will definitely see my kids soon!”
Nwoko noted that the court has already addressed the matter, ruling that Daniels must complete drug rehabilitation and be assessed by the Abuja Social Welfare Department before she can have access to Munir, 5, and Khalifa, 3.
“The matter has been adjourned to 4 February 2026 for hearing of the substantive suit,” he added.
He urged Daniels to comply with court directives, warning that her online posts could risk “using the children as emotional shields to deflect from unresolved personal issues.”
He stressed that “the most responsible and meaningful step remains compliance with the court-directed rehabilitation process and a demonstrated commitment to sustained personal wellness.”
“It is our hope that this window of quietude will be used for healing and recovery, rather than generating another cycle of online attention,” the statement concluded.
