Senator Ned Nwoko has clarified the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Ms Izuegbu Anthonet, also known as Ann, over allegations he described as false and damaging to his name.

In a statement issued by his media team, the senator said Ann was arrested for alleged criminal defamation after making serious claims against him and his family.

Allegations and Denials

The statement explained that Ann publicly accused Senator Nwoko of physically assaulting his wife, Laila Nwoko, and causing a miscarriage.

The senator firmly denied the claims, saying no such incident ever happened.

His team also alleged that Ann was linked to the procurement of an illegal abortion for actress Regina Daniels during her marriage to the senator.

According to Nwoko, the matter is documented and already under investigation by security agencies.

Police Investigation Ongoing

The statement revealed that a witness report submitted to the Maitama Police Station in October 2025 detailed repeated alleged activities involving illegal substances.

Investigations into the claims are said to be ongoing.

Nwoko’s team added that Ann’s arrest followed a social media post where she allegedly issued threats and repeated defamatory statements.

They stressed that the issue is a law enforcement matter, not a social media disagreement.

The senator said he and his family would allow due process to run its full course.

He also urged the public to rely on verified facts instead of online rumours and speculation.

BASIS OF THE ARREST OF MS. IZUEGBU ANTHONET (ANN)

Following the arrest of Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet (commonly known as Ann), a number of misleading and inflammatory narratives have been circulated across social media platforms.

These claims are false, reckless, and deliberately intended to distort the facts surrounding her arrest.

For clarity and in the public interest, the following points set out the factual basis of the matter:

1. Criminal Defamation

Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet was arrested in connection with criminally defamatory statements she publicly made, alleging that Senator Ned Munir Nwoko physically assaulted his wife, Mrs. Laila Nwoko, resulting in a miscarriage.

These claims are entirely false. No such incident occurred, and no miscarriage resulted from any alleged violence.

The statements were made without evidence and form part of a coordinated attempt to reinforce previously circulated and unsubstantiated domestic violence allegations.

2. Procurement of an Illegal Abortion

Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet is also implicated in the procurement of an illegal abortion for Regina Daniels during her lawful marriage to Senator Ned Munir Nwoko.

This incident occurred after the marriage, notwithstanding subsequent attempts to reframe the timeline.

The legality of the act does not change based on narrative adjustments. The matter is on record and has previously been publicly referenced by Regina herself.

Essentially, Ann killed Senator Ned Nwoko’s unborn child. The circumstances of the illegal abortion were gruesome. Ann caused Regina to swallow a bunch of weed that left her bleeding for weeks.

3. Formal Witness Statement and Ongoing Investigation

A formal witness statement dated 29 October 2025, submitted to the Area Commander, Maitama Police Station, details repeated and ongoing activities involving Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet and others.

The statement noted that Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet routinely sourced, handled, and administered controlled and illegal substances to Regina and associated individuals.

It further indicates the existence of identifiable suppliers, corroborative observations, and supporting details already made available to law enforcement authorities.

These matters are presently under investigation by the appropriate agencies.

Ms. Izuegbu Anthonet’s arrest was directly preceded by a public social media post in which she issued threats, made derogatory remarks, and repeated defamatory accusations against Mrs. Laila Nwoko and Senator Ned Munir Nwoko.

This post constituted provocation, intimidation, and criminal defamation under applicable law.

It is important to emphasise that this matter is not a social media dispute but a law-enforcement issue grounded in evidence, witness testimonies, and due process.

Any attempt to mischaracterise the arrest as suppression or victimisation is false and misleading.

The Senator and his family will continue to respect the ongoing investigation and will not engage in trial by social media. The public is urged to rely on verified facts and allow the law to take its full course.

Signed,

Communication Team

Senator Ned Munir Nwoko.
