Former Nigerian senator Ned Nwoko has issued a strong response to recent public claims surrounding a negative drug test linked to actress Regina Daniels, asserting that the result does not invalidate earlier medical assessments or ongoing legal considerations.
In a statement released by his communication team, Nwoko emphasized that temporary abstinence should not be mistaken for long-term sobriety, especially when earlier professional evaluations had already raised concerns.
“A Negative Test Does Not Rewrite History,” Says Nwoko’s Team
According to the statement, the drug test being circulated publicly was conducted under unclear circumstances, and its methodology, timing, and independence have not been independently verified.
The team stressed that earlier assessments conducted in Nigeria and South Africa—by two separate, reputable facilities—had already documented substance use involving both drugs and alcohol.
These reports, they say, were formally documented, professionally handled, and are prepared to be presented and defended in court if required.
“A later negative result only reflects abstinence over a period of time,” the statement noted, “it does not invalidate earlier findings or negate the reasons intervention was necessary.”
Substance Use Clarification: MDMA Still Classified as a Drug
The statement also addressed attempts to downplay the seriousness of the substance allegedly involved, MDMA (commonly known as Molly).
Nwoko’s team made it clear that regardless of casual language or rebranding, MDMA remains a psychoactive drug, with well-documented risks affecting judgment, emotional stability, and long-term wellbeing.
“Changing the name does not change its chemical composition or its impact,” the statement said.
Custody Ruling and Court-Ordered Therapy Highlighted
In addition to medical concerns, the communication referenced a prior court judgment that reportedly:
- Granted custody of the children to Ned Nwoko
- Dismissed allegations of human rights abuse
- Recommended supervised therapy for Regina Daniels, with evidence of compliance
The team emphasized that these decisions were made before the matter became public, and that Nwoko had opted for a discreet, non-media-driven approach, encouraging professional care while protecting the privacy of the children involved.
Accountability Requires Consistency, Not Social Media Proof
The statement further argued that true accountability and recovery require sustained professional engagement, not episodic gestures or online declarations.
It questioned the credibility of a test conducted months later at a time of personal convenience, insisting that any medical evidence presented must withstand legal scrutiny, including verification by credible, court-recognized laboratories.
“Healing is not episodic, and accountability is not performative,” the statement concluded.
Call for Verified Evidence and Judicial Oversight
Nwoko’s team maintained that any test—regardless of where it is conducted globally—should be open to subpoena and expert review.
They added that courts may appoint independent laboratories to validate competing claims in the interest of clarity and justice.
