Recall a video appeared online which portrayed Nwoko as a violent husband. The video which went viral showed an agitated Regina, 25, seriously complaining about the state of her matrimony. The environment was chaotic as some individuals could be seen clashing.

But, in his rebuttal on Sunday morning, October 19, Senator Nwoko explained that the opposite was the case.

Part of his statement reads:

"I have other wives, and none will ever accuse me of violence. Regina is the violent one here, slapping and hitting 3 staff in the past 48 hours and destroying property, including cars and windows, for no just cause."

He added:

"The truth is, I have set a clear condition for her to accept rehab in Asokoro or outside Nigeria especially Jordan where she will not have access to drugs."

Jordan's anti-drug use stance

Jordan's laws are rooted in Muslim tradition. In Jordan, it is illegal to possess, use or traffic drugs. If convicted, violators can get a lengthy prison sentence and heavy fine. In fact, drugs like hemp, considered 'recreational', are illegal in the middle east country.

In the Jordanian culture, there is a lot of stigma towards people who use drugs. In the country, possession of even a small quantity of drugs is considered a criminal act and the defendant may face prison time, even for first-time offences.
