Nollywood star Regina Daniels has revealed that her long-separated parents have reunited not for romance, but in a united front to seek the release of her brother, Sammy West, who is reportedly still in detention.
The actress made the revelation in a heartfelt post shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, confirming that her father, Jude Ojeogwu, and mother, Rita Daniels, have put aside years of estrangement to stand by their children during the ongoing family crisis.
Regina, who has been in the public eye following reports of marital tension with her billionaire husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, disclosed that her parents’ reunion came from a genuine place.
According to her, the reunion carries “no negative ulterior motive other than their daughter’s happiness.”
The actress went on to express frustration over her brother’s prolonged detention, hinting at plans to take drastic action if necessary.
She wrote:
“Sammy’s detainment is taking way too long but we will get him out even if I have to march there myself and create a storm! Since they want me.”
In her emotional outpouring, Regina also gave fans a glimpse into her parents’ personalities, describing them with pride and affection.
She said, “My father is a lawyer and one of the biggest back in the day but Nigeria happened. I’ll tell you more about my father later. And my mother? She’s a powerhouse. They would do anything for their children. I love you mom and dad! This is all I actually ever wanted.”
The Daniels family has been in the spotlight in recent weeks amid reports of domestic tension involving Regina and her husband, which allegedly led to her brother’s arrest. While details surrounding Sammy West’s detention remain unclear, Regina’s public statement suggests that the actress and her family are gearing up for a united fight to ensure his release.
Fans have since flooded the comment section with messages of support, praising Regina for standing by her family and expressing relief over her parents’ reconciliation after years of estrangement.
For many followers, the reunion between Rita Daniels, a well-known actress and producer, and Jude Ojeogwu, a respected legal practitioner, marks a rare moment of peace amid a storm of controversies surrounding their celebrity daughter.
As the situation continues to unfold, Regina’s vow to “create a storm” in Abuja signals that the Daniels family drama is far from over and may soon take a more confrontational turn if her brother remains in custody.
