A detailed medical report has emerged alleging that Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, wife of Senator Ned Nwoko, has been battling severe substance abuse involving cocaine, marijuana, alcohol and other hard drugs.
The report, issued by Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja and signed by its Managing Director/Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Adekunle Adesina, covers her detoxification programme from September 9 to October 15, 2025. It indicates that Daniels tested positive for multiple psychoactive substances, including marijuana, cocaine, morphine, opiates and high levels of alcohol.
According to the document, the hospital’s psychological emergency unit was called to the Nwoko residence on September 23, when Daniels had reportedly not slept for 48 hours and was “visibly aggressive”. She was said to have been engaged in a heated argument with her husband and mother on arrival.
The report noted that Daniels presented with verbal aggression, anger, agitation, and incongruent affect, with her mood described as “elated and evasive.” She was diagnosed with substance use disorder, prompting the commencement of home-based detoxification on September 24.
POLITICS NIGERIA learned that Family members were invited to assist with the treatment, with the hospital warning that relatives who also used drugs should stay away from the actress to avoid jeopardising her recovery.
The hospital outlined several challenges encountered during the detox process, including:
Frequent outings and social engagements
Free access to drug-using friends and family members
Uncontrolled access to the client during treatment
Work-related activities
Superficial thrombophlebitis
Despite some mental stability, the report concluded that Daniels had made little progress in substance withdrawal because she “still has access to psychoactive substances, hence frustrating the process.”
The hospital recommended stricter monitoring, avoidance of high-risk environments, and regular psychotherapy sessions to strengthen the detoxification effort.
