Senator Ned Nwoko has reportedly had Regina Daniels’ close friend, Ann, arrested by the Lagos State Police over allegations of theft. The arrest took place on Monday, January 12, 2026, amid ongoing public tensions between Nwoko and his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
Sources said Ann was taken into custody after a complaint was allegedly filed by Nwoko. The specifics of the charges and the official court documents have not been publicly released. The arrest comes at a time when the feud between the politician and Daniels’ camp has drawn widespread attention online.
Social media influencer Tunde Ednut commented on the arrest, suggesting that it may have been triggered by Daniels’ recent public appearance with an alleged new boyfriend abroad. He urged Nwoko to refrain from targeting her friends, stressing that the escalation is unnecessary.
Meanwhile, Ann’s supporter, Sammy, questioned both the integrity of the Nigerian judiciary and the police in handling the case. He emphasized that Ann was never at Nwoko’s residence, making the court order for her detention questionable. He said, “There was no time Ann was ever at Ned’s house. So how is there a court order to detain her for conspiracy, theft, and all? Omo. Nigeria has failed us.” Sammy also added, “Nigeria has failed us.”
The arrest adds to the ongoing saga between Nwoko and Regina Daniels, which has been widely reported for months. Daniels has previously denied allegations tied to theft and other claims made in the public dispute.
At this stage, neither the Lagos State Police nor representatives of Ned Nwoko have issued an official statement regarding Ann’s arrest. The situation continues to generate significant discussion and debate across social media platforms in Nigeria.
