Regina Daniels has acquired a home in Lagos, a move the Nollywood actress hinted is her declaration of independence.
The acquisition comes in the heat of the crisis in her marriage to businessman and politician Ned Nwoko.
Daniels, 25, took to social media on Sunday to share photographs of the property.
She accompanied the post with a statement: “In my house, I am a queen! I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
The purchase follows a turbulent week for the high-profile couple, whose six-year marriage has descended into a public spectacle.
The controversy began with a viral video in which the actress was seen in tears, alleging marital strife and claiming she could no longer tolerate “violence.”
In the emotional clip, Daniels lamented: “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing, but in my own house, I am a Queen.”
Senator Nwoko, a former member of the House of Representatives, had swiftly countered his wife’s implied allegations of domestic abuse.
In a lengthy public statement, he denied any violence but instead accused Daniels of struggling with drug and alcohol abuse, which he claimed was the root of their problem.
Nwoko alleged that the actress had recently become violent and destructive, damaging property and assaulting staff.
He maintained that he had set a clear condition for the actress: that she must undergo a rehabilitation programme, either in Abuja or abroad, for the sake of her health and safety.
