  The Nigerian Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District,  Senator Ned Nwoko has responded to the viral apology video released by the young man who accused him of plotting to harm his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. In a statement shared online, the Delta North senator said the incident is proof that Nigeria’s social media space has become “one of the most unregulated in the world,” with people freely making damaging allegations just to chase views. According to him, this behaviour continues because many offenders believe they can stir public emotions, evade consequences, and later return with an apology when things escalate. Nwoko wrote:  “The accompanying video trended a couple of days ago. It is testament to the fact that Nigerian social media space has become one of the most unregulated in the world. Laying very serious allegations has become a common trait to attract millions of views without recourse to the damaging effects on the people involved....

The young TikTok user who went viral for accusing the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Senator Ned Nwoko of allegedly asking him to kill Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels has now issued a tearful apology, claiming the entire allegation was “just content.” In the video, the young man—who identifies himself as “Liar of TikTok”—went on his knees begging the senator for forgiveness, insisting he never expected the situation to escalate. According to him, the original full video wasn’t posted, and the edited clip circulating online has now put him in serious trouble. He repeatedly begged:  “Good morning sir, I am very, very sorry. Please forgive me. It was content. I didn’t know it would reach this level… I have nobody. No father, no mother. Please sir, I’m begging you with the God you serve. Forgive me.” This comes hours after Senator Ned Nwoko announced he had instructed his lawyers to petition security agencies over ongoing cyber harassment and defamation targete...
