Ned Nwoko Appeals for Restraint Over Regina Daniels
In his statement, Nwoko directly addressed fans, friends, bloggers and social media users, urging them to give Regina Daniels “some breathing space”.
He said the appeal was made in consideration of the actress and their children, who deserve to see their mother supported rather than subjected to distressing rumours.
According to the senator, despite the difficulties in their relationship, Daniels’ well-being remains important to him.
He also explained that concerns about her welfare had contributed to aspects of their private circumstances becoming public.
Senator Threatens Legal Action Over Fake Death Reports
Nwoko expressed particular concern over the circulation of fabricated death announcements, misleading stories and other hurtful content about the actress.
He warned that such publications should not be treated as harmless social media engagement, noting that Daniels sees many of the posts and is deeply distressed by them.
“I will not tolerate the deliberate spread of false information about Regina, particularly fabricated reports about her death, health or personal circumstances,” he stated.
The senator also warned individuals allegedly using anonymous social media accounts to invent stories and attract online engagement to stop immediately.
He said publications containing false information were being documented and that anyone found responsible could be held accountable through appropriate legal channels.
Regina Daniels Trends Amid Death Rumours
The false death reports have generated discussions across social media, particularly on X, where Regina Daniels has been trending in Nigeria.
Several Nigerian media organisations, including Punch, QED.NG, P.M. News and TVC News, have reported Nwoko’s appeal.
The circulation of the rumours has attracted reactions from fans and social media users, with some expressing concern while others have criticised the spread of unverified information.
However, Nwoko’s statement directly describes the death announcements as fabricated and calls on the public to stop circulating them.

His intervention focuses on stopping the spread of false information and allowing the actress some privacy amid public attention surrounding her personal life.
The senator has urged Nigerians, bloggers and social media users to exercise restraint, verify information before sharing it and avoid using sensitive personal circumstances to generate online engagement.
