Senator Ned Nwoko’s explosive accusation that his wife, actress Regina Daniels, is battling drug and alcohol abuse has set social media ablaze, after he claimed a mysterious woman called “Ann” supplies her with drugs.
Fans and entertainment watchers have now begun linking the name “Ann” to Nollywood actress Annie Idibia, popularly known as Annie Macaulay, following the resurfacing of a viral video showing Regina Daniels partying with Annie.
Nwoko, in a statement widely circulated online, accused Regina of violent behavior, destruction of property, and dependency on substances. He wrote that “another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann,” a remark that instantly triggered a wave of speculation across online platforms.
Although Ned Nwoko did not explicitly identify the person behind the name, several fans quickly pointed to Annie Idibia, who shares a public friendship with Regina Daniels. The pair have been spotted attending events together, sharing photos on social media, and clubbing on occasion.
As clips of Regina smoking shisha and allegedly puffing other substances began trending again, online users connected the dots, concluding that Annie might be the “Ann” mentioned in Nwoko’s post. The video, which has now gone viral across TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), shows the actress relaxed in a lounge setting, exhaling smoke amid laughter with friends.
Entertainment commentators say the timing of the video’s reemergence has only intensified public scrutiny, given that Annie Idibia has recently faced her own marital crisis following her separation from music star 2Baba and also accused of drug addiction. The coincidence has made many draw parallels between both women, who are now being portrayed in similar lights by gossip blogs.
So far, neither Annie Idibia nor Regina Daniels has issued a formal response to the circulating allegations. However, both actresses have remained active on social media, with Regina sharing family content and Annie posting motivational quotes, actions some fans interpret as silent responses to the controversy.
Observers caution that while the allegations are sensational, no credible evidence has emerged to prove Annie’s involvement in drug supply or Regina’s alleged addiction beyond Ned Nwoko’s public statement.
The unfolding saga has once again placed Nigerian celebrity marriages under the spotlight, blurring the line between personal conflict and public spectacle.
