Lagos Police Deny Arresting Regina Daniels’ Brother Amid Viral Reports
The Lagos State Police Command has publicly denied reports circulating online that Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ brother was recently arrested. The clarification came from the Command’s Public Relations Officer, who described the viral claims as false and misleading.
In a statement released to the media, the Police PRO emphasized that there was no record of any arrest involving Regina Daniels’ sibling within Lagos jurisdiction. The spokesperson urged members of the public and media outlets to verify information before spreading unconfirmed stories, especially those involving public figures.
The denial comes after rumors surfaced on social media suggesting that one of Regina Daniels’ brothers had been apprehended for undisclosed reasons. The news quickly gained traction among blogs and gossip pages, prompting the Police Command to step in and set the record straight.
“We wish to inform the public that no such arrest was made. The report is entirely false and should be disregarded,” the Lagos Police PRO stated.
The incident has once again sparked conversations about the dangers of fake news and how it can tarnish reputations, especially in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, where celebrities are often targeted by misinformation campaigns.
Fans of the popular actress—who is married to billionaire businessman Ned Nwoko—have expressed relief following the police clarification, calling on social media users to stop spreading unverified stories that could harm individuals’ image.
As of now, neither Regina Daniels nor her family has issued an official statement, but insiders close to the actress have confirmed that her brother is safe and free, dismissing the viral rumors as baseless.
The Lagos Police Command reiterated its commitment to transparency and truth, reminding the public to rely only on official law enforcement channels for verified information.
