Tension continues to rise in the ongoing drama between Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, billionaire senator Ned Nwoko, as her elder brother, Sweezzy, launched a petition against the politician.
Barely 24 hours of being shared, the petition demanding accountability for alleged abuse of power and intimidation has gathered nearly 30,000 verified signatures, drawing massive online support.
Sweezzy urged people to sign, claiming that Ned, as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, could face scrutiny from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in the UK, even while residing in Nigeria.
Taking to his Instagram story, he said:
“Matters like domestic abuse, harassment, and abuse of power are treated seriously in the UK. Run it up by signing the petition.”
The petition comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Sammy West arrest, Regina’s other brother, who has been actively defending his sister during the family crisis.
Social media users have applauded Sweezy’s bold move, with many urging more people to sign the petition and demand justice.
Sweezzy’s petition has ignited a wave of support online, as Nigerians and international observers call for justice, accountability, and protection against abuse of power.
The actress, who has been at the centre of a marriage crisis that has played out publicly over the last week, lashed out at the senator’s insistence that she enter rehab.
“Don’t even get me started on telling the world what you did to me with your stupid rehab talk! You said I’m a drug addict… What other name can you call me? A prostitute? But I will speak on that one day and tell the world of your involvement with everything.”
Regina’s posts painted a picture of personal despair and humiliation.
“I’m trying, I’m really trying to be the bigger person by not saying or doing anything… Leave my family alone Ned! And leave me alone too! It is obvious it’s war! And a big shame that the beautiful but short legacy we built is about to be ridiculed by the whole world.”
The latest allegations come against the backdrop of earlier claims by Senator Ned Nwoko that Regina is battling drug and alcohol addiction, a contention he laid out in a public statement titled, “Regina’s Unprovoked Carnage And Rampage In My House And In My Absence.”
In that statement the Delta North lawmaker described what he called “violent behaviour and erratic conduct” by Regina.”
The lawmaker said she must continue a rehabilitation programme or he fears for her life and safety.
He said he had proposed rehab either in Asokoro, Abuja, or abroad — specifically naming Jordan — where, he alleged, she would not have access to substances.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that a viral video showing Regina in visible distress, surrounded by relatives and aides, at one point fainting and crying that she “can’t stand the violence,” fuelled public concern. In that footage she was heard saying: “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen. Not again. I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much.”
