A medical doctor has reacted to the ongoing controversy surrounding Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ drug test result, offering a professional perspective amid widespread online debates.
The doctor firmly dismissed claims suggesting that the test was manipulated, staged, or influenced in any way to favour the actress.
Regina Daniels had recently gone public with her drug test result after months of persistent rumours and allegations accusing her of drug abuse circulated across social media platforms.
Medical Influencer Reacts to Online Speculations
Popular medical influencer, Dr Chidi A. Okoroafor, took to social media to address claims made by some users who suggested that Regina travelled abroad to “flush out drugs” from her system before undergoing the test.
Reacting strongly to the speculation, the medical expert dismissed the notion as medically incorrect and rooted in misinformation.
He wrote:
“Once I hear ‘she has gone abroad to detoxify/flush out the drugs before test’, I mark myself and family safe from your generational ignorance.”
His blunt response quickly drew attention online and triggered fresh conversations about drug testing, detox myths, and public understanding of medical procedures.
Why Regina Daniels Took the Drug Test
Regina Daniels later explained that she voluntarily took the drug test to clear her name and safeguard her reputation, particularly for the sake of her children’s future.
In an emotional video shared on Wednesday, January 7, the actress categorically denied being a drug addict and described the rumours as false, damaging, and deeply hurtful.
She emphasized that she did not want her children to grow up exposed to misleading narratives and harmful stories about their mother.
How the Controversy Started
The allegations reportedly began during a challenging period in Regina Daniels’ marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.
At the time, Ned Nwoko publicly accused the actress of drug use, a claim that further fueled online speculation and media attention.
The situation intensified in November 2023 when Regina’s co-wife, Laila Charani, also accused her of introducing her to drugs, escalating the controversy even further.
Leaked Medical Report Fuels Debate
Following the accusations, a leaked medical report allegedly showing that Regina tested positive for drugs surfaced online.
The report spread rapidly across social media, sharply dividing public opinion and sparking heated debates.
Many Nigerians questioned how the actress later produced a negative drug test result, leading to renewed speculation, criticism, and conspiracy theories.
Doctor Clarifies How Drug Tests Work
Dr Okoroafor’s reaction has since provided a professional medical explanation on how drug tests function, helping to dispel myths surrounding drug detoxification and test manipulation.
His intervention has been widely seen as an effort to educate the public and correct misinformation surrounding the actress’s case.
