Nollywood actress, Uche Montana, has denied the speculation making the rounds that she was involved in the reported drug crisis surrounding actress Regina Daniels and her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.
Montana, in a statement on her Instagram page on Monday, addressed the accusations a few days after Nwoko, in a lengthy Facebook post, named Regina’s close friends and relatives, including actresses Sonia Uche and Uche Montana, as allegedly undermining his wife’s rehabilitation process.
Nwoko had claimed that the individuals in question repeatedly ignored doctors’ orders to restrict access to Regina during therapy and would “bring her the same drugs she was being treated for.”
Reacting to the allegation, Montana said, “My attention has been drawn to a circulating post that appears to link my name to certain claims.

“For clarity, I have no involvement or connection to the situation described. This note is simply to set the record straight and protect my peace.”
Her rebuttal is coming as the controversy surrounding Regina Daniels’ marriage to Nwoko continues to intensify.
Recall that two weeks earlier, Regina had alleged in a viral video that she was a victim of domestic abuse, describing herself as a “slave” in her husband’s home.
Nwoko, however, dismissed the allegations, insisting that his wife was battling “drug and alcohol addiction” and accusing her of physically assaulting domestic workers.
In other news, Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, says the bid to create Anioma State has recorded major progress, with support from President Bola Tinubu and key constitutional amendment committees at the National Assembly.
Nwoko disclosed this at the Izu Anioma Towns Union event in Abuja during the unveiling of the maiden Anioma cultural festival. He said the momentum behind the proposal is stronger than at any point in Nigeria’s recent political history.
According to him, 97 senators had previously signed a document endorsing the state creation push, describing the scale of support as unprecedented. He explained that the bill currently before the National Assembly seeks to establish Anioma State from the nine local government areas in Delta North, spanning Aniocha, Oshimili, Ika and Ndokwa zones.
