Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja has rejected claims that it released a medical report said to contain sensitive information about Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. The document, now driving debate across Nigeria’s entertainment and political circles, alleges substance abuse and a detoxification programme said to have taken place earlier in the year.
The hospital’s statement released on the official Instagram page has added new tension to a fast-moving story that includes privacy concerns, legal questions, and a public rift between Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.
The report at the centre of the dispute describes a six-week admission from early September to mid-October. It lists several controlled substances and suggests Daniels arrived in distress, with references to agitation, aggression, and sleeplessness.
It also outlines a home-based detox plan and claims her recovery was hampered by frequent outings and contact with people said to use drugs. The document ends with a diagnosis of substance use disorder and a recommendation for continued therapy and tighter supervision.
An account states that an emergency psychological team was called to the Nwoko residence after Daniels had gone two nights without sleep and became involved in an argument with her husband and mother. The report also claims relatives were advised to limit contact if they were using drugs, framing the episode as a case requiring controlled surroundings.

The hospital has called the circulating document false. Through a social media post that gained wide attention, Serenity Royale Hospital said the report “did not emanate from us” and stressed its commitment to patient confidentiality. It did not confirm the authenticity of the material or whether Daniels ever received treatment there, which has deepened public interest.
The denial has also drawn attention to Nigeria’s health-privacy laws, including the National Health Act and the Nigeria Data Protection Act, both of which forbid the release of confidential medical records without consent.
Legal commentators and professional bodies have been urged to review the matter. Calls for an inquiry now centre on whether the document was forged, leaked by a third party, or used to influence the ongoing conflict between Daniels and Nwoko. The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria has also been mentioned to step in.
The leak coincides with rising tension in the Daniels-Nwoko marriage. Daniels has accused the senator of controlling behaviour and claims she was pregnant before she turned seventeen. Nwoko has pushed back by linking her grievances to alleged drug use and insisting she refused treatment offered elsewhere. Sources close to him say he has access to the report and shared it with trusted contacts, though he has not spoken publicly about that claim. Daniels’ brother has dismissed the allegations, accusing the senator of using fabricated documents and insisting the marriage was never legally completed.
Public reaction has been intense. Online forums and social platforms have hosted long debates about privacy abuse, political influence, and the treatment of women in high-profile marriages. Many posts call for sanctions against anyone found responsible for circulating medical information without permission. Supporters of the actress argue that the episode shows how private records can be weaponised during family disputes, and several hashtags calling for accountability continue to trend.
The hospital has offered no further detail beyond its initial denial. With legal reviews expected and both families holding firm positions, the story continues to expand. For Regina Daniels, whose career has been built on popular screen roles and youth-focused advocacy, the controversy now sits alongside her professional work, raising broader questions about the protection of personal data and the responsibilities of institutions entrusted with it.
