Nigerian senator, Ned Nwoko has stated that his estranged wife, Regina Daniels told him she was 21-years-old when they first met.
He stated this in a post on X while sharing some documents which included her Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, voters card as evidence.
This followed claims by Omoyele Sowore, that the lawmaker married the actress as a minor.
Nwoko posted on X on Thursday: “It has come to my attention that false claims are being circulated by Regina, suggesting that I married her when she was 17 years old. These claims are entirely untrue and misleading.
“For clarity, during my first meeting with Regina, I asked her age, and she told me she was 21 years old.
“I further asked if she had any document to support this, and she presented her inec voter’s card, which clearly shows that she was born on October 10th, 1998.
“I informed her that I would keep this document in my possession, and I have done so since that day.
“I have also seen a BBC interview Her mom granted after our marriage regarding her age.”
