Billionaire lawmaker, Senator Ned Nwoko has debunked reports making the rounds that he married Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels,while she was 17 years. He added that he married Regina at 21.
According to Senator Nwoko he made enquiries and demanded for documents before marrying Regina Daniels.
The clarification came against the backdrop of the reports making the rounds that he married Regina while she was under age.
Below is Ned Nwoko’s statement
“It has come to my attention that false claims are being circulated by Regina, suggesting that I married her when she was 17 years old. These claims are entirely untrue and misleading.’
‘There’s INEC documents indicating Regina Daniels was not under age before marriage
For clarity, during my first meeting with Regina, I asked her age, and she told me she was 21 years old. I further asked if she had any document to support this, and she presented her INEC voter’s card, which clearly shows that she was born on October 10th, 1998.
‘I informed her that I would keep this document in my possession, and I have done so since that day.
I have also seen a BBC interview Her mom granted after our marriage regarding her age.
‘According to all verifiable records, our marriage took place six years ago, which means Regina is 27 years old today. Any suggestion that I married her at 17 is false and should not be accepted by the public.
The facts are verifiable and indisputable.
‘I urge the public to approach all her claims with caution and discernment especially taking into account her current mental condition having started and abandoned her rehabilitation from illegal drug addiction.
It would be recalled that the once flourishing marriage is currently engulfed in crises.
