Regina lied, she was 21 when we married’ Ned Nwoko shares proof of wife’s age
Nigerians react
Billionaire politician, Ned Nwoko, has disputed his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ claim that she married him at 17.
Taking to his Facebook page this morning, Nwoko said he married the actress at the age of 21, and after six years of marriage to him, she is now 27.
The politician attached the actress’s voter card to the post, with her date of birth listed as 10 October 1998.
The politician said he asked Regina, during their first meeting, how old she was, and she told him she was 21.
He said he proceeded to ask her to give him proof, after which she gave him her voter’s card. Nwoko said he had kept the voter’s card ever since.
See his full post below.
“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.
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 documents 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.
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.”
His post has attracted a lot of comments, with some supporting him for setting the record straight and others condemning him for being childish by reacting to every claim of his wife.
The senator has since limited who can comment on the post.
