Alleged drug : I’ve carried Regina to the hospital unconscious three times,” — Ned Nwoko

Senator Ned Nwoko has said that his embattled wife and mother of two must go through rehabilitation over alleged drug addiction to safeguard her life and be in her right mind to raise her children.

He stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.

Mr Nwoko said his stance that the 25-year-old actress should pass through a rehab programme is because of a series of her alarming toxicology results.

According to him, his wife’s calm personality changed recently, and she was exhibiting violent and destructive behaviour, amidst recurrent health crises.

Mr Nwoko said he wanted the actress to raise her children in a healthy environment while teaching them responsibility.

He said going to rehabilitation would prevent her from having access to drugs while she completes her treatment process.

I want her alive and healthy, not just for me, but for our children. We have two young kids together, and they cannot fight for themselves, and I’m going to fight for them by safeguarding their mother.

“Many people have died of drug overdose, and if anything happens to her now, what will I tell her children tomorrow.

“I have lived with this problem for eight good months, and on three occasions I had to carry her to Nizamiye hospital unconscious from a drug overdose, and you can go verify it,” he said.
