Senator Ned Nwoko, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has declared that she has no incriminating evidence to use against him.
The lawmaker representing Delta North Senatorial District made this known in a statement released on Monday through his Communication and Technical Action Team.
According to Nwoko, some individuals who have allegedly been targeting him for years are now taking advantage of the current situation to tarnish his image before the international community.
He said:
“Beyond this, the talk about me grabbing land in my hometown is false and unfortunate. The truth is that I was allocated a piece of land, for which I made a genuine offer of payment, to establish the University of Sports, a project that exists today and serves the community.
“Unfortunately, anyone who seeks progress in our society is often attacked and torn down by their own people. That is the sad difference between us and other ethnic groups.
“The facts are there. Those exploiting her present condition to settle old scores, knowing they have no case against me, will eventually face justice.
“They must also be careful with the defamatory statements they continue to make because they will be required to prove them.
“If by now she has not brought up any credible allegation against me, it means there is nothing illegal about me, except that I want her to seek help for rehabilitation, a condition that existed long before our marriage.”
The senator further alleged that Regina had a record of substance use, which, according to him, can be verified through medical documents and proven in court.
