Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has openly declared her support for Regina Daniels, following reports that the actress’s brother was arrested allegedly on the orders of Regina’s estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.
The development, which has sparked heated reactions across social media, came after news broke that Regina’s brother, Samuel Ojeagwu, was detained under controversial circumstances.
Many Nigerians have since accused the lawmaker of using his influence to intimidate the young actress’s family amid speculations that her marriage had hit the rocks.
Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Yvonne Jegede weighed in on the matter with a passionate message condemning what she described as injustice against women.
The actress expressed concern that good people often remain silent in the face of wrongdoing and said the alleged arrest of Regina’s brother was a direct attack on the girl-child and democracy in Nigeria.
Her statement quickly went viral, earning praise from fans who applauded her courage for speaking up on a sensitive issue involving two well-known public figures.
Yvonne’s words not only showed solidarity with Regina Daniels but also reframed the controversy as part of a wider struggle for women’s rights and freedom from intimidation in Nigeria’s patriarchal society.
She emphasized that the alleged arrest of Regina’s brother was more than a family dispute it was a reflection of the systemic silencing of women who choose to walk away from powerful men.
The actress’s reaction followed an uproar on social media after videos of Samuel Ojeagwu’s arrest circulated online, with many Nigerians calling for his immediate release.
Some users accused Ned Nwoko of weaponizing his political power, while others urged caution, calling for a full investigation before drawing conclusions.
While both Regina Daniels and her husband have yet to make official statements addressing the arrest, sources close to the family claim tensions had been brewing for months. The couple, who married in 2019, share two children but are said to be living separately.
Yvonne Jegede’s intervention comes at a time when several female celebrities have begun to use their platforms to challenge gender-based abuse and defend other women in the entertainment industry.
Her comments echo a growing movement among Nollywood actresses advocating for fairness, justice, and respect in relationships, especially where power imbalance exists.
As reactions continue to trail her post, many of Yvonne’s followers have expressed admiration for her boldness, describing her as a voice of conscience in Nollywood. Others have urged more industry figures to speak up and demand accountability from those in positions of influence.
The controversy surrounding Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko remains one of the most talked-about stories on social media this week, with Nigerians eagerly watching to see how the situation unfolds and whether justice will prevail for Regina’s brother, Samuel Ojeagwu.
