‎I Married Her At The Age Of 21 - Ned Nwoko Clarifies Claim Of Marrying Regina At The Age Of 17, Reveals Her Real Age

Nigerian Senator, Ned Nwoko, has debunked the allegations of marrying his estranged wife, Regina Daniels at the age of 17.

Ned, in a clarification statement on his Facebook page on Thursday, shared that his attention has been drawn to false claims peddled by Regina, stating that he married her when she was 17. According to him, those claims are false, "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."

Sharing his own side, he revealed that during his first encounter with the actress, he inquired about her age, and she informed him that she was 21 years old. He also noted how he requested evidence, and she provided her INEC voter's card, which showed that she was born on October 10, 1988.

"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."

Ned further stressed that all verifiable records indicate that their marriage took place six years ago, stating that as of now, Regina is 27 years old. He urged the public to ignore every other claim, attributing her outburst to her mental condition which was kick-started after she abandoned rehabilitation from illegal drug addiction.

The statement further read: "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. Until this is done, 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."

The Nigerian Voice recalls that Regina Daniels has been embroiled in a marital battle with her "ex-husband," Senator Ned Nwoko. She had accused him of domestic violence, while he accused her of being a drug addict.

The brouhaha between the duo have led to controversies online, as many drama have been unfolding as the day goes by.
