Popular Nollywood actress and billionaire wife, Regina Daniels, has expressed heartfelt gratitude to her fans and supporters after her brother, Samuel Ojeogwu (Sammy West), regained his freedom following his arrest.
Samuel was reportedly detained on charges of criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, and theft, sparking massive social media attention and public sympathy for the actress and her family.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Regina shared a video celebrating her brother’s release, visibly emotional yet thankful for the overwhelming love she received during the ordeal.
“And my brother is out. So, one battle down,” she said joyfully.
In another emotional moment, Regina reflected on the show of support, saying:
“Guys, do you know it’s really such a big deal to be loved by a lot of people? Wait, can I brag about that? Can I actually brag that I’m loved by so many people?
See, the kind of love I received this period makes me emotional. I feel good. Jokes on you, Ned, because you thought people would hate me.”
The actress went on to appreciate her fans, friends, and colleagues, describing their solidarity as overwhelming.
“I have my mothers, my fathers, my uncles, my brothers, my sisters, my friends, my fans, my online aunties and online daddies — everybody fighting for me. Thank you, guys. I can’t even start mentioning names,” she said.
A separate video shared by activist Omoyele Sowore on Monday showed friends and well-wishers, including actress Mercy Johnson, celebrating Sammy West’s release.
The development follows recent tension in Regina Daniels’ marriage to Senator Ned Nwoko. The actress had earlier broken down in tears in a viral video, lamenting her brother’s detention and pleading for his release.
Nwoko, however, has denied claims of domestic violence, attributing Regina’s emotional breakdown to alleged “drug and alcohol abuse.”
