Actress Regina Daniels Rejoices as Brother Is Freed from Detention

Samuel Ojeogwu, also known as Sammy West, the brother of Regina Daniels, has been released from custody after being accused of criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, and theft. These charges are connected to a petition that the actress’s estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, allegedly filed.

Daniels shared a video and expressed her pleasure for her brother’s release on her Instagram page on Tuesday, confirming the development.

“And my brother has left. “So, one battle down,” she exclaimed with satisfaction.

In response to a petition received by the FCT Metro Area Command on October 28, 2025, it had been reported that Ojeogwu was charged before a court in Abuja by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.

November 6, 2025, was his arraignment date.

The Nigerian Lawyer reports that Ojeogwu was granted bail of ₦5 million by the Abuja Magistrate Court on Monday, thanks to the efforts of a legal team headed by human rights attorney Marshal Abubakar.

For a second hearing, the case was postponed until November 28.

Daniels shed tears in the video as she thought back on the love and support she had received while her brother was incarcerated.

“Guys, do you realize it’s really such a big deal to be loved by a lot of people?” she remarked. Can I brag about that, please? Can I genuinely boast about how many people adore me?

“You see, I’m moved by the type of love I experienced throughout this time. I feel well. I feel well. Jokes on you, Ned, for believing that I would be despised.

All of you are unaware of that. Everyone is battling for me, including my mothers, fathers, uncles, brothers, sisters, friends, admirers, and internet aunts and daddies.

Later, she expressed gratitude to her supporters and followers for their support.

“I’m grateful, gentlemen. “I can’t even begin to mention names,” she continued.

Actress Mercy Johnson was among the friends and well-wishers celebrating Sammy West’s release in a different video that activist Omoyele Sowore posted on Monday.

Daniels’ marriage is becoming more tense at the time of the development.

She recently sobbed in a widely shared video over her brother’s incarceration, bemoaning her family’s suffering and said, “I will go back.”

Her outburst came after weeks of reports about purported marital problems with Nwoko, who has since refuted claims of domestic violence and attributed her actions to claimed alcohol and drug usage.
