Nigerian activist, politician and owner of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has accused Nigerian senator, Ned Nwoko of statutory rape and marrying a minor.
This comes after Ned has issues with one of his wives, Regina Daniels, whom he allegedly married when she was 17 years old.
According to Sowore, Regina accused Ned of raping her and introducing her to use of hard drugs.
Ned is also accused of arresting Regina’s older brother, Sammy, and holding him in custody, unless Regina returns to him.
Sowore further added that Ned who is a UK lawyer, should be brought to justice for flouting the UK law of marrying a minor.
See Sowore’s post below:
APC Senator PrinceNedNwoko
Must Be Held Accountable for Crimes Against a Minor and Abuse of Power
The case of APC Senator Prince Ned Nwoko has gone far beyond politics. It now points to serious criminal conduct and gross abuse of power, as revealed by his now-estranged wife, Regina Daniels.
According to @regina.daniels , Senator Prince Ned Nwoko ‘married’ her when she was only 17 years old at a time when she was legally a minor under UK law, where Nwoko remains a registered legal practitioner. Any sexual activity following that marriage would, under British law, amount to statutory rape.
More disturbing are reginadaniels
allegations that Senator Nwoko introduced her to hard drugs while she was still underage and repeatedly forced himself upon her. These are not mere moral failings; they are serious criminal offences that demand investigation and prosecution.
It is unacceptable for Ned Nwoko to continue parading himself as a lawyer in the United Kingdom while facing these damning allegations. The Law Society of England and Wales must be alerted, and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) must begin disciplinary proceedings before the Independent Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) to determine his fitness to practise law in the UK.
We will not allow Ned Nwoko to continue using the now disgraced Nigeria Police Force, his political influence, or illicit wealth to suppress victims, pervert justice, and trample on human rights in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world.
Impunity has an expiry date, and that date is now!

Y’all should do your findings before commenting or accusing
Sentiment aside she needs to stay away from social media for now, her mental health needs to be fixed for her own sake”
