"Let heads roll, save Nigeria"- Okon of Lagos urges President Tinubu to prosecute Sheikh Gumi.

Popular Nollywood actor, Imeh Bishop Umoh, popularly known as Okon of Lagos, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to prosecute Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi for terrorism.

Gumi has been known to push for negotiation with terrorists in their hide outs and also defending their actions.

Speaking via an open letter addressed to the president, Umoh asserted that Gumi is a well known banditry apologist and should be prosecuted if found guilty of terrorism.

Lamenting on the situation in the country, Umoh insisted that no responsible government negotiates with terrorists.

The actor wrote on Instagram: “Sheikh Gumi is a proven banditry apologist. It’s visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that there is a huge deficiency, if not a total lack of courage to arrest, investigate and subsequently prosecute and convict Sheikh Gumi if found culpable for terrorism.

“According to El-Rufai, the only repentant terrorist is a dead one and I totally agree. Keel them all! Save Nigeria!!

“No responsible government negotiates with terrorists!!!”

He added: “Yes there may be political pressures from sacred cows, but at this point does it matter? Let sacred cows be touched. Let heads roll. That’s not too much ado for our roads and farmlands to be safe again, our communities livable, as well as our churches and sacred worship centers, safe like before

“Our country is near gone. Let’s save what’s remaining of this already existing ruins and restore her back to glory. Mr. President Sir, I know you can. I hope you will.”

“Leave Me Alone and Move On!” — Regina Daniels Sends Strong Message to Estranged Husband Ned Nwoko

According to Leadership News, Nollywood star Regina Daniels has openly called on her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, to stop interfering in her personal affairs and allow her to live in peace.

In her strongly worded message, Regina urged the senator to act on his previous claims of marrying another wife instead of continually dragging her into conflicts that she believes should have ended after their separation.

Regina expressed frustration over what she sees as unnecessary intrusion, saying Nwoko should “just marry a new wife and leave me alone — isn’t that what you said you would do? Use that one to console yourself.”

Her remarks indicate that she feels the senator has crossed boundaries by staying involved in her life post-breakup, and she wants him to respect his own statements and move forward independently.

The actress didn’t stop there. She also criticized Nwoko’s priorities, stating that instead of focusing on his responsibilities as an elected senator, he has shifted his energy toward monitoring her.

Regina pointedly stated:
“People of Delta North, your senator has left his responsibilities and focused on small me.”

Her comments have sparked fresh conversations online, with many reacting to the escalating tension between the former couple.

Senator Ned Nwoko Defends Marriage to Regina Daniels Amid Controversy, Denies Political Smear Allegations.

Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has addressed the controversies surrounding his six-year marriage to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, asserting that recent stories are politically motivated and aimed at tarnishing his reputation.

Speaking through his Communication and Technical Action Team, Mr. Nwoko clarified the ongoing age debate, emphasizing that Regina Daniels, born on October 10, 2000, married him at 19 not 17 as widely claimed. “Her mother personally brought her to me during the traditional marriage ceremony. I never pursued her,” he stated.

He also acknowledged Regina’s past struggles with substance use and bipolar medication, highlighting that her medical history is verifiable. “Enemies of progress are manipulating her for their own agendas. If there were any secrets to disclose, she would have done so.

All circulating stories are fabricated and amount to criminal defamation,” he added.

On his marriage, Nwoko emphasized that it followed customary traditions. “Polygamy is accepted under our customs. I married her honourably, gave her a name, and treated her with dignity. My affection for Regina has always been genuine, and anyone who has worked with me can attest to the care and attention I gave her,” he said.

The senator described the controversies as politically driven attacks meant to halt his developmental initiatives. He cited claims of land grabbing in his hometown as false, noting that the land he acquired was legally purchased for the establishment of the University of Sports, a project benefiting the community.

He also accused critics, including Omoyele Sowore and Jebose, of exploiting Regina’s vulnerability to settle old scores. “Those using her current condition to launch attacks against me, knowing they have no case, will eventually face justice. That she has made no credible allegations against me confirms there is nothing illegal in my actions,” Nwoko concluded.

Sonia Uche Reacts After Ned Nwoko Mentioned Her Name in Drug Allegation Involving Regina Daniels.

Nollywood actress Sonia Uche has subtly responded to the recent claims made by politician and businessman Ned Nwoko, who accused her and others of allegedly supplying hard drugs to his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, during her reported stay in a rehabilitation center.

Taking to her official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday, November 10, 2025, the actress shared a cryptic yet pointed message that has since stirred reactions across social media.

“My name is Ihuoma Sonia Uche. Just to be clear. This new week, remember… punctuations ( , ) matter,” she wrote.

While Sonia did not directly address Nwoko or the allegations, her post has been widely interpreted as a sharp, witty clapback, emphasizing the importance of clarity and truth, a veiled suggestion that Nwoko’s statements might have been distorted, misquoted, or deliberately twisted.

Fans and colleagues quickly rallied behind the actress, praising her calm and intelligent response amid a wave of online speculation. Many described her post as “classy shade” and “the perfect response without saying too much.”

The controversy erupted after Ned Nwoko made a shocking statement on social media over the weekend, naming a few Nollywood figures he alleged had negatively influenced Regina Daniels during their marriage. The post sparked a frenzy online, prompting reactions from those mentioned and fans of the celebrity couple.

Sonia Uche has not issued a formal statement beyond her cryptic post. However, her subtle response has been seen as a declaration of confidence and restraint in the face of public accusations.

Meanwhile, Regina Daniels has remained silent on the matter, as social media continues to buzz with speculation and divided opinions on the latest drama involving one of Nollywood’s most talked-about families.

Nollywood actress Uche Montana Denies mysterious "drug supplier" Allegations.

According to a report by Punch, Nollywood actress Uche Montana has forcefully refuted sensational claims circulating online that she is the mysterious "drug supplier" to fellow actress and billionaire wife, Regina Daniels.

The widespread rumor gained considerable traction across various social media platforms, causing a significant stir and threatening to damage Montana's hard-earned reputation.

In a swift and decisive move, the actress took to her official social media channels to address the defamatory allegations head-on, firmly declaring her complete innocence and demanding a public retraction from the sources.

The controversy first erupted following vague yet persistent online reports mentioning a popular actress who allegedly supplies illicit substances to a prominent married colleague in the industry.

Although names were initially withheld, social media commentators quickly linked the accusations to Regina Daniels and Uche Montana, primarily due to their perceived association within the tightly-knit movie industry circle.

This rapid spread of speculation demonstrates the unchecked power and sometimes reckless nature of the digital mob, forcing celebrities to frequently defend their personal lives against baseless claims.

Taking a strong stance against the slander, Uche Montana categorically denied any involvement in any form of drug-related or illicit activities whatsoever.

She expressed extreme disappointment and profound anger over the baseless rumors, labeling them as malicious, calculated attempts by hidden detractors to permanently tarnish her valuable brand and successful career trajectory.

Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has taken a swipe at Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ husband, Ned Nwoko, describing him as a “wicked man” whose actions have left his community in distress.

In a recent statement, Seun Kuti said, “Old people everywhere like Regina Daniels’ husband. Regina married such a man despite the kind of wickedness he has shown his community. He almost killed the king of his village and wanted to take the whole land of the community by force.”

The singer went on to allege that Nwoko “was so evil that he imprisoned nine boys for years on false terrorism charges,” expressing shock that Regina could still stay with him in the name of love.

Seun added that he does not hold Regina entirely responsible for her choice but rather blames the government that pushes young women into desperate decisions. “I don’t blame her, I blame the country. If Nigeria gets better, our young girls won’t need to enter such situations,” he concluded.

"Lagos Police did not arrest Regina Daniels’ brother, Sammy" — Command spokesperson, Adebisi, clarifies, adding that the arrest was carried out by Abuja Police officers.

The Lagos State Police Command has clarified that it was not involved in the arrest of Samuel Daniels, brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. According to the command’s spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebisi, the arrest was conducted by police officers from Abuja who were acting on an official assignment and carried a valid arrest warrant.

Adebisi explained that Samuel Daniels was briefly held at the Ogombo Police Division in Lagos due to the late hour before being transferred for further procedural steps.

“The individual in question was not arrested by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command. The officers who effected the arrest came from Abuja with a duly signed arrest warrant. The suspect was temporarily detained at Ogombo Division due to the late hour, pending further procedural action,” Adebisi said.

The statement was issued following social media speculation that Lagos police had arrested Daniels amid an ongoing dispute between his family and Senator Ned Nwoko. Lawrence Daniels, Regina’s elder brother, had previously accused Nwoko of harassment and warned that he should be held accountable if anything happened to the family.

As of press time, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command had not released details about the arrest or the allegations against Samuel Daniels. SP Josephine Adeh, FCT Police spokesperson, was unavailable for comment, and messages sent to her went unanswered.

This clarification aims to address the confusion and confirm that Lagos police merely facilitated a temporary hold before the suspect was transferred, with the Abuja team handling the official arrest process.
