Senator Ned Munir Nwoko has issued an official statement clarifying the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Ms Izuegbu Anthonet, popularly known as Ann and identified as a friend of actress Regina Daniels.
The statement was released via the senator’s verified Instagram page, @princenednwoko, following widespread public reactions and social media discussions concerning the arrest.
According to the statement signed by his communication team, several misleading and inflammatory narratives had been circulated online regarding the matter. The senator described these claims as false, reckless, and deliberately intended to distort the facts.
The statement explained that Ann was arrested in connection with allegations of criminal defamation. It alleged that she publicly accused Senator Nwoko of physically assaulting his wife, Mrs Laila Nwoko, and causing a miscarriage. The senator denied the allegation, stating that no such incident occurred and that no miscarriage resulted from any alleged violence.
The statement further claimed that Ann is implicated in an alleged illegal abortion involving actress Regina Daniels during her lawful marriage to the senator. According to the communication team, the matter is documented and had previously been referenced publicly by Regina Daniels herself. The statement maintained that attempts to reframe timelines do not alter the legal status of the allegation.
It was also disclosed that a formal witness statement dated October 29, 2025, was submitted to the Area Commander at Maitama Police Station. The statement reportedly details repeated activities involving Ann and others, including the handling and administration of illegal substances to Regina Daniels and associated individuals. The matter is said to be under investigation by relevant law enforcement agencies.
Additionally, the statement noted that Ann’s arrest followed a public social media post in which she allegedly issued threats, made derogatory remarks, and repeated defamatory accusations against Mrs Laila Nwoko and Senator Nwoko. According to the statement, the post constituted provocation, intimidation, and criminal defamation under applicable law.
Emphasising that the issue is a law enforcement matter and not a social media dispute, the senator urged the public to rely on verified facts and allow due process to take its course. He added that neither he nor his family would engage in a trial by social media while investigations remain ongoing.
The statement concluded by reaffirming respect for due process and ongoing investigations by the appropriate authorities. If you want this tightened further, headline-only, or adapted for Opera News, I’ve got you.
