Activist Omoyele Sowore has maintained that lawmaker Ned Nwoko married actress Regina Daniels before she reached the age of 18.

In a Facebook post this morning, November 13, Sowore claimed that Nwoko married Regina when she was a teenager and travelled abroad with her shortly after she turned 18. This comes hours after Senator Nwoko issued a statement denying the allegation that he married Regina at 17. Read here.

Ned Nwoko stated that he married Regina at the age of 21 and has a voter's card she presented at the time to verify her age.

Read Sowore's statement below.

‘’Senator Chinedu “Ned” Nwoko Senator @nednwokoforsenate of the @apcnationalsec may believe he can outsmart the public, but the record tells a different story.

Evidence NOW in the public domain shows that he entered into marriage with Regina Ojeogwu Nnaemeka Favour

@regina.daniels when she was still a teenager, and the couple later travelled abroad to the UAE (Dubai), soon after she turned 18.

Ned Nwoko personally handled her travel documentation for that trip, according to accounts from those familiar with the matter to celebrate her 18th birthday.

The same Senator Prince Ned Nwoko, long known for flaunting wealth and influence, has frequently used the now disgraced @NigeriaPoliceForce to intimidate and detain members of his estranged wife’s family and others speaking against his well-documented impunity.

This pattern of harassment must stop.

Nigeria cannot claim to stand for justice while people with immense political power and questionable fortunes use state institutions as private weapons.

Justice must mean accountability, even for the rich and well-connected. Impunity must end.''

To back up his claim, Sowore posted photos of as passport procured two years before marrying Nwoko and another one she procured years after she got married to the lawmaker.
