In a dramatic turn in the increasingly public dissolution of one of Nigeria’s most scrutinized celebrity marriages, Serenity Royale Hospital has categorically denied conducting drug testing on actress Regina Daniels, calling a widely circulated medical report “fabricated” and warning the public against spreading what it terms classified misinformation.
The hospital’s strongly worded statement, released Thursday evening, comes as the breakup between the Nollywood starlet and her billionaire husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, continues to play out in the public eye with escalating accusations flying between the estranged couple.
At the heart of the controversy is a purported laboratory report that went viral on social media Wednesday. The document, which bore Serenity Royale Hospital’s letterhead, allegedly revealed toxic levels of multiple substances in Daniels’ system, including marijuana, cocaine, morphine, opiates, and alcohol. The report was presented as a “mid-term home detox report,” suggesting ongoing rehabilitation treatment.
The timing of the leaked document was particularly damaging for the actress, surfacing just days after Senator Nwoko publicly accused his wife of drug addiction and demanded she submit to rehabilitation. These allegations came in response to Daniels’ own explosive claims of domestic abuse against the senator as their marriage publicly unraveled.
However, in its official statement signed by hospital management, Serenity Royale Hospital pulled no punches in distancing itself from the report. “Our attention has been drawn to a post (on an alleged MID TERM HOME DETOX REPORT) being circulated online in the name of Serenity Royale Hospital with respect to Mrs Nwoko Regina,” the statement read.
“We wish to state clearly that the publication and circulation of the said post containing classified information did not emanate from us and respectfully request the public to disregard same.”
The hospital’s use of the term “fabricated” raises serious questions about who created the document and for what purpose. Medical privacy laws in Nigeria strictly prohibit the unauthorized release of patient information, making the circulation of such a report—whether genuine or fake—a potentially criminal matter.
This latest development adds another layer of complexity to what has become one of the most contentious celebrity separations in recent Nigerian entertainment history. The marriage between the young actress and the considerably older politician and businessman has long been the subject of public fascination and scrutiny since their union in 2019.
What began as private marital difficulties has now exploded into a full-blown public relations battle, with allegations of abuse, addiction, and now potentially fraudulent medical documentation entering the fray. The question of who might benefit from the circulation of false medical records remains unanswered, though the timing—coming immediately after Daniels’ abuse allegations—has not gone unnoticed by observers.
As this story continues to develop, the hospital’s denial raises troubling questions about the weaponization of medical information in personal disputes and the ease with which fabricated documents can spread in the digital age, potentially destroying reputations before the truth can catch up.
Neither Regina Daniels nor Senator Nwoko had issued statements regarding the hospital’s denial at the time of this report.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Serenity Royale Hospital has publicly declared that viral laboratory results allegedly showing Regina Daniels tested positive for multiple drugs are “fabricated and did not come from their facility”.
This fake medical report surfaced amid the actress’s messy breakup with Senator Ned Nwoko, who had accused her of drug addiction after she alleged domestic abuse against him. The hospital’s denial raises serious concerns about the deliberate use of falsified medical documents to damage reputations during a high-profile marital dispute.
The public should disregard the circulating report entirely—it’s a forgery, not legitimate medical evidence.
