Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her UK-based brother, Sweezzy, have unfollowed each other on Instagram, raising speculation about potential family tensions.

The move comes as Regina navigates a highly publicized marital crisis with her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, which has dominated Nigerian entertainment news.

According to GistReel, Regina’s younger brother, Sammy West, who was recently released on a ₦5 million bail, has also unfollowed Sweezzy on Instagram. The reasons behind these social media decisions remain unclear, leaving fans curious about possible underlying issues within the family.

Background on Sammy West’s Arrest

Sammy West was arrested on November 6, 2025, and granted bail four days later on November 10. He was taken from Lagos to Abuja following a petition reportedly filed by Senator Ned Nwoko. The petition accused him of criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, theft, and cyberbullying.

The arrest has been linked to the ongoing marital dispute between Regina Daniels and Senator Ned Nwoko, which has included allegations of domestic violence and abuse of power. Sweezzy, in the past, publicly commented on Sammy West’s release alongside their mother, Rita Daniels, demonstrating his vocal support for the family during the legal proceedings.

Marital Struggles and Child Custody Battle

Recently, Regina Daniels spoke openly about her ongoing child custody dispute with Senator Ned Nwoko. She alleged that her estranged husband dismissed her nannies and pressured them to make false statements against her. Despite currently having the children in his care, Senator Nwoko has reportedly filed for full custody.

Experts note that public family disputes can be further complicated by social media activity. Dr. Aisha Bello, a Lagos-based family therapist, commented, “Unfollowing family members online can signal strained relationships, especially when combined with ongoing legal and personal conflicts. It often reflects emotional distancing rather than permanent estrangement, but it fuels public speculation.”

The recent Instagram moves by Regina Daniels, Sweezzy, and Sammy West have stirred conversations among fans, leaving many to wonder how the familial and marital tensions will evolve in the coming weeks.
