The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has charged Mr Samuel Ojeogwu, brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, before a court in Abuja for alleged criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, and theft.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the development in a statement on Friday, noting that the action followed a petition lodged with the FCT Metro Area Command on 28 October 2025 against Ojeogwu and three others.
According to Adeh, Ojeogwu had repeatedly ignored police invitations before his arrest in Lagos.
“Upon receipt of the petition, several invitations were extended to Mr Samuel Ojeogwu by the Metro Area Command for questioning, which were not honoured. Mr Ojeogwu was arrested in Lagos on the authority of a duly issued arrest warrant from a competent court and subsequently conveyed to Abuja for further investigation,” she stated.
The police spokesperson added that following the conclusion of investigations, Ojeogwu was arraigned on 6 November 2025 before a competent court in Abuja.
“Upon the conclusion of investigations, the suspect was on the 6th of November 2025 charged in court for
offences bordering on criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, assault, criminal intimidation, and theft. He has been remanded by the court pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions,” Adeh said.
SP Adeh reaffirmed the command’s commitment to professionalism and due process, stressing that the FCT Police Command would continue to uphold the rule of law.
“The FCT Police Command remains committed to professional policing, due process, and the rule of law,” she added.
The case has sparked widespread online debate, especially after Regina Daniels broke down in tears in a viral video, lamenting her brother’s detention. The actress, visibly emotional, repeatedly said, “I will go back,” while expressing pain over her family’s struggles.
Her emotional outburst followed reports of alleged marital troubles with her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, who she had accused of domestic violence in an earlier social media post.
Senator Nwoko, however, denied the allegations, claiming that Regina’s “behavioural changes” were linked to drug and alcohol abuse, insisting she seek rehabilitation.
Amid the ongoing public drama, Regina shared a rare moment of joy, announcing that her estranged parents had reconciled after years of separation — a reunion she described as “a silver lining in the storm.”
The unfolding saga continues to grip both fans and the entertainment industry, highlighting a web of family tension, emotional distress, and legal battles.
