Senator and businessman Ned Nwoko, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has sparked widespread discussion amid the ongoing tension in their marriage.
A viral video captured the Delta North lawmaker during a National Assembly session, where he raised concerns over what he termed one of the largest cases of economic loss in Nigeria’s history.
In his address, Nwoko revealed that over $300 billion in crude oil proceeds remain unaccounted for. His statement followed the submission of an interim report by the Senate Ad-Hoc Committee on Crude Oil Theft, which he chairs.
The report indicated that billions of dollars in oil revenue between 2015 and 2024 could not be traced, attributing the shortfall to systemic theft, weak oversight, and institutional inefficiency.
While presenting the findings, Nwoko blamed the persistent losses on inadequate measurement systems, sabotage within the oil industry, and poor coordination among regulatory bodies.
His fiery presentation quickly gained traction on social media, as many Nigerians commented on the video drawing parallels between his political revelations and the turbulence in his personal life.
