A young man has sparked widespread reactions on social media after claiming that Senator Ned Nwoko offered him and others N5 million each to kill his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels.

Ned Nwoko, a Nigerian billionaire and politician, has been embroiled in a highly publicised marital crisis with Regina Daniels, with rumours of separation dominating the headlines in recent months.

Although the couple appears to have moved on separately, the recent allegation has reignited public attention on their turbulent relationship.

In a viral video on X (formerly Twitter), the young man, who partially concealed his face, alleged that the Senator instructed them to carry out the killing, providing Daniels’ location and schedule. He claimed they refused the assignment, citing the high risk involved.

He stated in the video: “Ned Nwoko told us to go and kill Regina Daniels, gave us her location and the time she was going to move, but we refused to do it, because… I cannot do it.”

The man further alleged that even appearing in the video put his life in danger. He added that the Senator had paid them N5 million each and warned Regina Daniels to be cautious during the current ember months.

The revelation has generated mixed reactions across social media, with many Nigerians expressing shock, concern, and disbelief over the claim.

A shocking family drama unfolded when a man discovered that the three children he had raised for six years were not biologically his.

The truth came to light just weeks before Thanksgiving, leaving the man devastated and struggling to process the betrayal.

In a post shared by @amebogist on Instagram, it was reported that he asked the woman and her children to leave while he processed the revelation.

But his family, believing the children shouldn’t be punished for their mother’s actions, invited them to the holiday gathering without consulting him.

When the woman and her children arrived, the man became visibly upset, witnesses say he rushed to the front door, blocking their entry, and told his family he wasn’t ready to see them so soon after learning the truth.

The woman reportedly pleaded with him, saying, “Mistake happens,” asking for forgiveness and understanding.

Despite her pleas, the man stood firm, and she eventually left with the children to avoid making the situation worse.

The incident has sparked heated debate online. Some defended the man, arguing he had every right to protect his emotional well-being. Others said the children shouldn’t suffer for their mother’s betrayal.
