The Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, has alleged that a “syndicate of pull-down-Ned” group is exploiting his reported marital issues with Nollywood actress Regina Daniels to damage his reputation.
Nwoko made the claim in a statement issued by his Communication and Technical Action Team and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, individuals who had long targeted him were now using the situation to criminalise him before the international community, describing the move as a “coordinated gang-up.”
He dismissed reports alleging that he grabbed land in his hometown, describing them as “false and unfortunate.” Nwoko explained that the land in question was lawfully allocated to him for the establishment of the University of Sports, a project he said continues to serve the community.
“Unfortunately, anyone who seeks progress in our society is often attacked and torn down by their own people. That is the sad difference between us and other ethnic groups,” he stated.
Nwoko further alleged that some individuals were taking advantage of “a young woman who is unwell and has admitted to using drugs,” in an apparent reference to his estranged wife.
