  "account": "Senator Ned Nwoko has called on Regina Daniels' supporters, friends, bloggers and social media commentators to give her the space she needs to recover from their ongoing marital issues. In a Monday statement, Nwoko expressed worry about her well-being amid false reports circulating about her health and personal life. He emphasized the importance of the appeal not only for Daniels but also for their two sons who, he said, deserved to see their mother supported as she worked towards recovery. \"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,\" said Nwoko. He urged the public to show compassion towards Daniels rather than judge or criticize her, noting that she has faced difficulties that the public might not fully comprehend. Nwoko condemned the circulation of fabricated death announcements and other distressing reports about the actress, warning that those responsible for spreading false information could face legal action. The marital crisis between Nwoko, a senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, and Daniels, a Nollywood actress, erupted in October 2025, with the couple alleging and counter- alleging against each other. Daniels had previously accused Nwoko of abusive and controlling behavior, claims he denied, while he attributed their marital problems to alleged substance abuse by the actress, a claim she disputed. In a social media video marking her birthday on October 10, Daniels shared about health challenges that affected her mobility and led to her absence from social media. Nwoko referred to Daniels' birthday video in his latest statement, highlighting the challenges she has been facing and urging the public to allow her to recover without further criticism or distress.",
