Senator Ned Nwoko has responded to his separated wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ recent rejection of drug use claims. He says that one negative test does not indicate that someone is always sober or change previous results.
The senator wrote on X (previously Twitter) that temporary abstention is not the same as healing or being responsible.
His team stressed that real rehabilitation needs ongoing professional help, honesty, and a long-term commitment, not just one test or social media post.
They also asked about the conditions of Daniels’ most recent test, pointing out that past claims of drug and alcohol usage came from independent and trustworthy centers in Nigeria and South Africa.
The statement says that these evaluations were done in a professional way and would be shown and defended in court, with the labs anticipated to testify about what they found.
The statement said that showing a subsequent negative result as proof that no prior use happened is misleading. At best, it shows that someone has been abstaining for a brief time. It doesn’t change previous medical reports or the reasons for intervention.
The study also said that casual comments or renaming drugs like MDMA, which is sometimes called Molly, do not make them any less serious.
Nwoko’s side says that temporary abstinence doesn’t fix the problems that caused the public fight in the first place.
They argued that healing can’t happen in short bursts and that being accountable means facing the truth and getting long-term professional help instead of just doing things online that look good.
The senator also pointed to the court’s prior decision in his favor, which threw out all of Daniels’ unfounded human rights accusations from last year.
Nwoko’s team stated he kept the issue covert on purpose so that Daniels could get therapy without anybody knowing and still have a good relationship with their kids.
The declaration made it clear that one test, taken at any time, did not invalidate properly documented evaluations done on their own.
They also said that any drug test, including Daniels’, will be looked at by the courts and must be able to be proven if it is called to court.
The court could choose a trustworthy lab to check out any claims.
Nwoko’s team decided that the issue needs “reality supported by relevant, credible, and admissible evidence” instead of drama on social media.
