Regina Daniels’ husband, Ned Nwoko, has refuted claims that he married her when she was only 17 years old, revealing how he confirmed her age when he first met her.

The couple’s marital issues have been a trending topic on social media as netizens, with Nwoko sharing an update on his X account on Thursday morning.

The politician disclosed that his wife told him she was 21 years old during their first meeting and that he asked for any documents to back it up.

Nwoko shared screenshots of Regina Daniels’ voter’s card as proof of her age from their first meeting.

“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 document 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,” the post reads.
