The reasons for the arrest and remand of Sammy Ojeagwu, the brother of actress Regina Daniels, have been made public by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command.
Ojeagwu and three other people were charged with criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, theft, and cyberbullying, according to a statement released by FCT police spokesman Josephine Adeh on Friday.
Adeh clarified that the actress’ brother did not show up for questioning after multiple requests.
The statement claims that he was taken into custody in Lagos “under a duly issued court warrant” and moved to Abuja for an investigation.
According to the statement, “on October 28, 2025, the FCT Metro Area Command received a petition against one Mr. Samuel Ojeogwu and three others, alleging criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, criminal intimidation, theft, and cyber-bullying.”
Following receipt of the petition, Mr. Samuel Ojeogwu received multiple invitations from the Metro Area Command to be questioned; however, these invitations were not fulfilled. Mr. Samuel Ojeogwu was arrested in Lagos using a properly issued arrest warrant from a competent court, and he was then transported to Abuja for additional investigation.
“The suspect was charged in court on November 6, 2025, for offenses bordering on criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, assault, criminal intimidation, and theft following the conclusion of investigations.” The court has remanded him until his bail requirements are met.
“The command is still dedicated to the rule of law, due process, and professional policing.”
The arrest comes following a public spat between Daniels and her husband, Ned Nwoko, that started in October when the actress was shown crying and accusing the senator of domestic abuse in a widely shared video.
In response, Nwoko claimed that his wife was battling alcohol and drug addiction.
When Daniels accused Nwoko of planning her brothers’ arrests on November 3, the conflict took a sharp turn.
The industry has expressed alarm about the case. In the past, fellow actress Mercy Johnson questioned the validity of Sammy’s incarceration and demanded his release.
Daniels promised earlier today that she would go back to her “abusive relationship” in order to get her brother out of jail.
