Stop the death rumors and false stories about Regina- Ned Nwoko tells trolls, vows to deal with anyone found guilty

Nigerian lawmaker, Ned Nwoko, has asked Nigerians to desist from spreading death rumors and false stories about his estranged wife, Regina Daniels.

In a statement released on social media this evening, Ned stated that Regina has gone through so much already and doesn't deserve the false stories being peddled about her online. 

Nwoko stated that this is not the time to judge, vilify, or add to her burdens. According to him, it is a time to show compassion and allow her the opportunity to heal. He went on to state that regardless of the difficulties their marriage has faced, her well-being has always mattered to him. 

The politician said he will not tolerate the deliberate spread of false information about Regina, particularly fabricated reports about her death, health or personal circumstances. He stated that his team is documenting these false publications, and anyone found responsible will be held accountable through the appropriate legal channels.

‘’I want to make a sincere appeal to the public, particularly Regina’s fans, friends, bloggers and social media commentators, to please give Regina some breathing space.I make this appeal not just for her sake, but also for the sake of the kids, who are very well cared for and deserve to see their mother supported, loved and given every opportunity to get better. Regina has been through a lot, more than many people may realise, and right now, what she needs most is love, support and the opportunity to recover.The video she shared on her birthday gave people a glimpse of some of the health challenges she has been dealing with. As someone who knows what she has been through,I can tell you that this is not a time to judge, vilify or add to her burdens.It is a time to show compassion and allow her the opportunity to heal. Regardless of the difficulties we have faced,her well-being has always mattered to me. It is, in fact, the very concern that brought much of our private situation into the public domain.

 

I am particularly concerned about the circulation of false and disturbing reports about her, including fabricated death announcements, misleading stories and other hurtful content. These things are not harmless social media engagement. Regina sees many of these posts, and they are deeply distressing. They do nothing to support her recovery, rather, they add to the burden she is already carrying. I appeal to her fans, who genuinely care about her, to help discourage this behaviour instead of amplifying it.

 

Let me make this very clear: I will not tolerate the deliberate spread of false information about Regina, particularly fabricated reports about her death, health or personal circumstances. Those hiding behind social media accounts to invent stories, mislead the public and exploit her situation for clicks and engagement should stop immediately. We are documenting these publications, and anyone found responsible will be held accountable through the appropriate legal channels. There is a limit to what should be tolerated, and that limit has been reached. Regina deserves the opportunity to recover without being subjected to a fresh wave of fabricated stories every day.
