Nigerian actress and model, Annie Macaulay, has addressed the recent controversy surrounding her reaction to a social media post by Laila Charani, the fifth wife of billionaire politician Senator Ned Nwoko, against fellow actress Regina Daniels.
The controversy began on Thursday, when Laila Charani shared a lengthy post on her Instagram page accusing Regina Daniels of introducing her to drugs. Laila, who is one of Ned Nwoko’s multiple wives, also tagged the actress as a bad influence, writing:
“This is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised, especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you.”
The post quickly attracted attention on social media, especially when Annie Idibia, who is publicly known to be a friend and associate of Regina Daniels, liked Laila’s post. The action drew mixed reactions online, with many fans expressing surprise and disappointment at Annie’s apparent support for the allegations.
In response to the backlash, Annie Idibia took to her Instagram story to clarify that liking Laila’s post was unintentional. She described her action as a “mistake” and reassured Regina Daniels and her fans of her unwavering loyalty.
“In the process of reading the rubbish that was alleged about my baby, Regina, I liked the post mistakenly. Over here, we don’t play with loyalty, and my baby knows I have her back, front, and side. Make una rest abeg,” Annie wrote.
Her statement seemed aimed at calming tensions and reaffirming her friendship with Regina Daniels, who has been at the center of public attention due to her complicated marital situation with Senator Ned Nwoko, the prominent politician and businessman.
The incident comes amid an ongoing messy marital breakup between Senator Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels, who is his sixth wife. Regina Daniels recently publicly accused her husband of alleged domestic violence, further fueling media scrutiny.
In turn, Senator Nwoko has accused Regina of taking drugs, an allegation that the actress has strongly denied. Laila Charani’s post, which initiated the social media stir, appears to align with the Senator’s claims, creating a complex and public family dispute that has drawn widespread attention.
