The source said, “He was interrogated for hours upon his arrival here. He is still with us as I speak (8:30pm).”

When asked if Bobrisky would face bribery charges, Oyewale indicated that no official decision had been made on that matter yet.

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has clarified her claim that she had 20 boyfriends before she met and married Nigerian Sena­tor, Ned Nwoko, the lawmak­er representing Delta North senatorial district.....Read Full Article>>

Earlier in the week, in a live session on Instagram Regina, 24, narrated her chance meeting with Mr Nwoko during a family out­ing. According to her, the entire family decided to go sightseeing, a decision she was not happy with. Howev­er, when they got there, she met the Senator whom she described as cute.

“When I started with my husband, I even forgot I was supposed to have boy­friends because I had twenty boyfriends at that time, one to buy water and one to do other things.

“When people think I didn’t have a choice and when people think mum­my forced me, not knowing that mummy was against the marriage and my entire family said no,” she said.

However, after the debate generated on social media, the actress and filmmaker has now come out to say that she was a virgin when she married her husband.

She wrote; “Hey everyone I want to clarify the 20 boy­friend ish solely to soothe my husband and also edu­cate young girls that having several male/boy friends willing to do things for you doesn’t mean you owe them your body. And oh yes. I did have a lot but I made a prom­ise to keep my virginity till my marriage. And guess what? I did!!!. It’s a big flex.

“But hold on! What did you guys expect na? It was your little beautiful sweet­heart, Regina Daniels. Of course men and ladies would admire. So everyone chill pls.”
