“Ned Has Issued an Arrest Warrant Against Me” – Regina Daniels’ Mom, Rita Daniels Cries Out, Says She’ll Be Arrested Before Monday

The family drama surrounding Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko, appears to be spiraling out of control, as her mother, Rita Daniels, has made a shocking revelation that has sent social media into a frenzy. In a new development, Rita Daniels alleged that Ned Nwoko, the politician and businessman, has reportedly issued an arrest warrant against her, insisting she should be arrested “on or before Monday.”

The startling claim surfaced after Rita Daniels went public with an emotional video and series of messages lamenting what she described as “unjust persecution” by her daughter’s husband. According to her, the arrest order stems from the ongoing marital crisis between Regina and Ned, which has been the talk of social media for days. The drama, which began with subtle rumors of tension in the marriage, has now evolved into what many are describing as a full-blown family feud, with shocking allegations and counterclaims emerging from both sides.

Rita Daniels, who has long been seen as a strong pillar in Regina’s life and career, appeared visibly distressed as she revealed that the arrest order came shortly after she attempted to intervene in her daughter’s situation. She said, “Ned has issued an arrest warrant against me. I have been told I should be arrested on or before Monday. I don’t even know what I’ve done wrong. Is it now a crime to stand by my daughter?” Her statement has sparked a flood of reactions online, with many Nigerians expressing disbelief that a family disagreement could escalate to this extent.

Social media has since been divided into camps, with some users calling out Ned Nwoko for allegedly weaponizing power and influence against his wife’s mother, while others have urged caution, saying there may be more to the story than meets the eye. The story trended widely across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, as thousands weighed in on what they described as another episode in the never-ending celebrity saga surrounding the Nwoko household.

For context, Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels’ marriage has been under intense public scrutiny since their union began in 2019. The 38-year age gap between the two has remained a recurring topic of conversation, but until recently, Regina managed to maintain an image of marital bliss, often sharing cheerful family photos with their sons on social media. However, in recent weeks, cracks began to show as whispers of disagreements and emotional distance surfaced online. When a few cryptic posts from Regina hinted at “endurance” and “unseen battles,” many fans speculated that not all was well in her home.

Things took a sharp turn when Rita Daniels reportedly stepped in to mediate, only for matters to escalate further. Insiders allege that the disagreement may be connected to ongoing property and family issues, although none of the parties have publicly confirmed this. Still, Rita’s recent claim about being targeted with an arrest order has added a new dimension to the story — one that paints a troubling picture of how personal issues can quickly turn into public spectacles.

Rita Daniels, a respected actress, film producer, and politician in her own right, has always been protective of her daughter. Many fans recall how she faced criticism during Regina’s early days with Ned, with some accusing her of “selling off” her daughter to wealth. Over the years, however, she has continued to defend her daughter’s choices and has maintained that the marriage was built on love and mutual respect. But this latest revelation seems to suggest that all may no longer be well in that union.

In her emotional message, Rita expressed fear for her safety and accused powerful people of trying to silence her. “I am not against anyone. I only spoke up for my child. But now I am being punished for it. I have never been this scared in my life. I was told to prepare myself because they will come for me on or before Monday,” she said, her voice quivering. Her statement has left fans alarmed, with some urging her to seek legal protection, while others have called for intervention from the Actors Guild of Nigeria and the Delta State government, given the gravity of her claim.

Meanwhile, Ned Nwoko has remained silent on the allegation, maintaining a characteristically calm front despite the growing media storm. Those close to him have hinted that he views the matter as a “private family issue” that should not have been brought into the public domain. However, critics argue that his silence only fuels more speculation, as Nigerians continue to demand clarification.

Online, the reactions have been as emotional as they are polarized. Some fans sympathized with Rita Daniels, describing her as a mother who is simply trying to protect her child from emotional harm. Others accused her of meddling too much in her daughter’s marriage and escalating private issues into public controversies. One user wrote, “This is what happens when you mix family with power and politics. Everything becomes a weapon.” Another countered, “Rita should calm down. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding. Ned doesn’t strike me as someone who would go this far.”

Adding to the chaos, a few unverified voice notes and messages purportedly from close associates of the family have begun circulating online, claiming that the tension began after a heated disagreement involving property rights and custody matters. While these claims remain unconfirmed, they’ve only added to the whirlwind of speculation surrounding the Daniels–Nwoko household.

As of Friday, there had been no official police confirmation regarding the alleged arrest order, but the story has continued to dominate headlines across Nigeria’s entertainment space. Many observers are now calling for both parties to de-escalate the situation and handle the matter privately, especially given that children are involved.

The unfolding saga has also reignited conversations about power dynamics in relationships, especially those involving significant wealth or political influence. Some social commentators have argued that the case exposes how women, even those connected to power, can feel helpless in systems dominated by authority and control. Others, however, caution against jumping to conclusions without verifiable facts.

For now, Nigerians are watching closely as the drama unfolds, wondering whether the alleged arrest will actually happen by Monday or if this is yet another social media storm that will fade away in time. But what’s certain is that the once-idyllic image of harmony surrounding Regina Daniels’ marriage has now been replaced by uncertainty, tension, and public scrutiny.

As the weekend approaches, many are praying for calm and reconciliation within the family. Yet, as history has shown, when the private affairs of public figures like Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko spill into the open, they rarely fade quietly. Whether Rita Daniels’ fears of arrest will materialize or not, one thing is clear — this story has opened a new and unsettling chapter in the ongoing saga of one of Nollywood’s most talked-about families.

The coming days will tell whether this storm will blow over or deepen further into what could become one of the most sensational celebrity controversies of the year.
