The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has publicly called out several Nollywood veterans who he claims are aware of Regina Daniels’ alleged substance abuse but have chosen to remain silent.
Rollas made the revelation in a detailed statement released on his Instagram page while addressing what he described as “many allegations, misconceptions, and unnecessary accusations” surrounding the ongoing controversy involving Regina Daniels, her mother Rita Daniels, and her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.
He clarified that Senator Nwoko serves as the Chairman of the AGN Board of Patrons, while Regina Daniels and her mother are active members of the Guild. He added that many Nigerians have been tagging him to respond to the escalating crisis, prompting him to finally speak out.
“Many senior colleagues know the truth” — Emeka Rollas
Rollas stated that he feels compelled to speak “clearly and responsibly,” insisting that several respected Nollywood figures have witnessed Regina’s alleged struggle firsthand.
He mentioned Jide Kosoko, Sanni Danji, Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, and Chinyere Wilfred as industry veterans who were present at the last movie shoot where Regina Daniels allegedly abused substances.
Rollas questioned why they have remained silent despite knowing she “needs help.”
“For years, the Board of Trustees has allowed me to stand at the frontline of battles while they protect their reputations from behind. Many senior colleagues know the truth surrounding recent events, yet they have remained silent.
“I am calling on those who were present at the last series shoot and fully aware of what is happening — Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, Chinyere Wilfred, Jide Kosoko, and Sanni Danji. You saw things firsthand regarding Regina, and we all know she needs help. Your silence is unfair and leaves me exposed to attacks for matters I did not create.”
Rollas Reveals Issue With Regina’s Travel Clearance
The AGN President further disclosed that while planning a roundtable meeting in South Africa, Senator Ned Nwoko imposed a specific condition concerning Regina’s travel.
“Senator Nwoko called me and gave me a condition that he would only allow Regina to travel if I promised she wouldn’t travel through Lagos. This is a fact, and I state it because it has been twisted against me repeatedly.”
Rollas’ statement has sparked major conversations across the entertainment industry, especially with the direct naming of respected Nollywood veterans. Fans and stakeholders are now awaiting responses from those mentioned as pressure mounts for clarification on the allegations.
