Human rights activist, Tony Dania has said he would stand in as a counsel to Sam West, Regina Daniels’ brother, in a legal dispute between the actress and Senator Ned Nwoko. Dania said he would offer his legal services pro bono, citing the need for “fair play and justice” for all Nigerians, regardless of their public profile.

The clash began after videos surfaced in early November showing Regina Daniels, alleging that Nwoko, had physically disciplined her and that her brother had been arrested on the senator’s orders. Regina’s brother, Sam West, has accused Sen Nwoko of domestic violence and using his influence to silence the family.

Nwoko, in turn, has denied the allegations, describing the video as a “pure Nollywood scenario” and blaming Regina’s alleged drug use and a “gang‑up” of relatives and friends for the controversy.

Dania’s involvement adds a new dimension to the saga, which has sparked widespread debate about power dynamics, gender, and polygamy in Nigerian public life.
