A prominent medical influencer has stepped into the ongoing controversy surrounding Nollywood actress Regina Daniels' drug test results, firmly dismissing widespread online claims that the results were tampered with or manipulated.
Medical Doctor Dismisses "Detox" Speculations
Dr. Chidi A. Okoroafor reacted to the viral discourse in a social media post that has garnered significant attention. He specifically addressed and criticised speculations that suggested Regina Daniels had travelled abroad to "flush out drugs" from her system before undergoing the test.
In his pointed statement, Dr. Okoroafor wrote: "Once I hear 'she has gone abroad to detoxify/flush out the drugs before test', I mark myself and family safe from your generational ignorance." His comment was a direct response to sceptics who questioned how the actress could return a negative result following serious allegations of substance abuse.
Background of the Controversy
The controversy has its roots in the actress's marital crisis. It began when her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, publicly alleged that she was involved in drug use. The situation escalated further in November 2023 when Regina Daniels' co-wife, Laila Charani, accused her of introducing her to drugs.
Following these serious accusations, a leaked medical report alleging substance abuse by the actress circulated online, fueling intense public debate and damaging rumours.
Regina Daniels' Voluntary Test and Emotional Defence
In response to the persistent rumours, Regina Daniels voluntarily underwent a drug test. She addressed the allegations in an emotional video shared on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. The actress firmly denied all claims, describing them as false and highly damaging to her reputation.
She explained her decision to take the test was primarily to safeguard her children's future. Regina stated she wanted to ensure her children would never grow up believing such harmful claims about their mother.
Public Reactions to the Doctor's Intervention
The doctor's post sparked a wave of reactions from social media users, with many applauding his stance and others continuing to question the narrative.
User @cutie____juls summarised: "Medical director rubbishes suggestion that Regina Daniels got a negative drug result after flushing her system and temporary abstinence."
User @ouchcleo pointed out a perceived contradiction: "First you called her an addict... How does abstinence and addiction find themselves in one sentence?... Which addict can go weeks or even months without dr*gs?"
User @chommygold1 questioned Ned Nwoko's motives: "If her well-being is your concern, as you claim, aren’t you supposed to be happy that she is drug-free?"
Other users, like @melanin_goddes___, expressed relief she took the test abroad: "I’m even happy she did it abroad!! E for don talk say them temp€r with the result."
The discourse highlights a deep divide in public opinion, with some celebrating the medical clarity and others remaining sceptical about the origins and intentions behind the initial allegations.
