The actress said the allegation is illogical, adding that her estranged husband does not keep large sums of cash at home.
She said, “It’s confirmed, it’s true, and I’ve verified that it’s Ned. There is a warrant on everyone, including myself.”
“She is claiming that we stole $40,000 from his house, yet he doesn’t even keep money at home.

Background
• Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko were married for several years and have two children together. Rumours of marital strain emerged in early 2025, including speculation about infidelity, which both parties denied.
How the Crisis Unfolded
In late 2025 their marital disagreements became public, with Regina accusing Nwoko of domestic violence, manipulation and control during their marriage.
She posted emotional videos online saying she no longer felt safe and that family members had been harassed amid the dispute.
Regina also claimed Nwoko used her alleged substance use to tarnish her image, saying he tried to isolate her from loved ones to control her.
Counterclaims from Ned Nwoko
Nwoko’s camp released a medical report and communications to support claims about Regina’s substance use and behaviour, arguing these concerns were legitimate and documented.
He denied the domestic violence allegations and also challenged claims that he married Regina when she was underage.
Escalation and Legal Issues
The crisis deepened with the arrest of Regina’s brother and other associates amid allegations of theft of money from Nwoko’s residence, which Regina strongly denied and described as baseless attempts to discredit her.
Regina later raised fresh concerns about the arrest of a close friend, questioning whether the actions were legally justified and linking them to the ongoing feud.
Public and Family Involvement
The dispute drew wide attention on social media and among celebrities, with some calling for calm and for the couple to avoid airing private matters in public.
In the middle of the crisis, Regina’s parents reportedly reunited to support her amid the tensions.
Current Status
As of the latest reports, the situation remains unresolved, with both sides making public statements and accusations, and legal proceedings reportedly ongoing.
