Regina Daniels' parents reunite in Abuja to secure sons' release amid family turmoil

In a dramatic turn of events, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ parents, Rita Daniels and Jude Ojeogwu, have reunited in Abuja to secure the release of their son, Sammy West, who was reportedly detained amid the family’s ongoing crisis with Senator Ned Nwoko.

This unexpected reunion between the estranged couple comes at a time when public attention is already fixed on Regina’s marital woes and the ripple effect it has created across social media.

In a video shared by actress Doris Ogala, the actress’s mother, Rita Daniels, was seen standing beside her ex-husband, expressing gratitude to Nigerians for their prayers and support during the family’s ordeal.

The couple’s body language reflected a shared determination to protect their children despite their differences.

Doris Ogala, who has been vocal in her support for Regina and her family, assured fans that updates regarding Sammy West’s situation would be shared as events unfold.

This moment marks a rare public appearance by Jude Ojeogwu, who had long stayed away from the media spotlight. His reemergence has reignited discussions about his earlier stance on Regina’s marriage.

Back in 2020, the actress’s father openly voiced his disapproval of her union with Ned Nwoko, claiming he had attempted to meet the senator before the marriage but was ignored.

He further recalled that the politician “forgot they once lived on Awoyokun Street, Onikan, Lagos,” suggesting a personal history that predates the controversy.
