Leaked Audio Allegedly Captures Ned Nwoko Admitting to Slapping Regina Daniels Amid Domestic Violence Accusations

A leaked audio clip which is set to dent the image of Senator Ned is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) which has reignited public outrage over the turbulent marriage between him and actress Regina Daniels.

In the viral recording—overlaid with photos of the couple—a male voice, alleged to be Nwoko’s, is heard admitting to slapping Regina during a tense phone call with her brother, Lawrence Daniels, and defending the act as a form of “discipline.”

The clip emerged just days after Regina publicly accused the Delta North senator of repeated physical abuse, forced intimacy, and intimidation through hired thugs, allegations that have dominated Nigerian entertainment and political discussions since early November 2025.

In the audio, the speaker defiantly claims he would “say it again, even in a UK court,” when confronted about the assault—further deepening the credibility of Regina’s allegations in the eyes of many listeners.

While the authenticity of the audio has not been officially confirmed, its release has intensified scrutiny on Nwoko, who has yet to respond publicly to the latest development.

Legal analysts suggest the recording, if verified, could serve as corroborative evidence in any domestic abuse proceedings, particularly given its explicit self-incriminating tone.

As of November 9, 2025, the post has surpassed 1,000 views, drawing mixed reactions online. Some users have called for immediate legal intervention and protection for Regina, while others caution against social media trials without forensic validation of the clip.

Feminist groups and gender advocates have seized the moment to highlight Nigeria’s persistent gender-based violence crisis, citing a 2023 UN report showing that nearly 30% of Nigerian women have experienced physical or sexual abuse from an intimate partner.

What began as a celebrity scandal has now evolved into a national conversation on domestic abuse, power imbalance, and the culture of silence surrounding influential figures. Whether or not the audio leads to legal consequences, it has already reshaped public perception of a marriage once glamorized across Nigerian media.
