Samuel “Sammy” Daniels, brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has been granted bail after spending several days in police custody, videos circulating on social media show.
In the clips, Sammy’s mother, Rita Daniels, is seen celebrating with actress Mercy Johnson and a relative who recorded the video. Rita told the gathering, “After consulting the gods, the gods did it,” as supporters cheered. They also thanked Nigerians for their prayers and support, using the phrase “Victoria Asata” as an expression of victory.
Sammy was reportedly detained over allegations linked to the ongoing dispute between Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, including claims of harassment and intimidation.
His release brings relief to the Daniels family, though tensions around Regina and Nwoko’s troubled marriage continue to attract public attention. Nwoko has previously accused Regina’s family of interfering with her rehabilitation and has threatened legal action against those spreading defamatory claims.
