Renowned Nigerian activist Omoyele Sowore has publicly demanded the immediate release of Samuel Ojeogwu, popularly known as Sammy West, who is the brother of actress Regina Daniels. This development comes amid escalating tensions in the marriage between Regina Daniels and her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.
The Arrest and Detention Controversy
According to reports, Sammy West was remanded at Keffi prison by a Dutse Magistrate without access to legal representation. Sowore took to social media to condemn the situation, accusing Senator Nwoko of using his political influence to orchestrate what he described as an unjust imprisonment.
In a strongly worded statement, Sowore alleged that Ned Nwoko collaborated with the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and other judicial authorities to facilitate the detention. The activist characterized this as an unholy alliance of impunity and called for immediate action to secure Ojeogwu's freedom.
Social Media Reactions and Public Response
The situation has sparked significant reactions across social media platforms, with opinions divided on the matter. Some users praised Sowore for speaking out, while others cautioned against interference in what they consider a private family matter.
One social media user commented: Thank God, finally someone is speaking up for them, reflecting support for Sowore's intervention. However, another user expressed caution, stating: Please Sir don't put mouth in this matter, let them solve it amongst themselves, this is a family matter.
The controversy has brought additional attention to the ongoing marital issues between Regina Daniels and Senator Nwoko, which have been playing out in public view in recent weeks.
Background of the Marital Crisis
The detention of Regina Daniels' brother occurs against the backdrop of increasing public scrutiny of her marriage to Senator Ned Nwoko. Recently, an old interview resurfaced online where Nwoko admitted that he did not marry the Nollywood actress for love, further fueling speculation about the nature of their relationship.
As the situation continues to develop, many Nigerians are watching closely to see how the legal and personal drama will unfold. The case has raised questions about the use of political influence and the administration of justice in the country.
Sowore has maintained his position, urging the Nigeria Police Force to drop all charges against Samuel Ojeogwu and secure his immediate release from detention.
