Sammy West, brother of actress Regina Daniels, has come under public scrutiny after being remanded to prison amid family and legal tensions. This biography covers his background, key family ties, and the current dispute surrounding his detention.
Sammy West (also known as Sammy Daniels) is the elder brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels. He has recently become a central figure in the family’s controversy after being arrested and remanded in prison in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
On November 6, 2025, Sammy was reported to be held without bail, prompting his sister Regina and other family members to publicly appeal for transparency in his case. The allegations include a clash with Regina’s husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, and claims of intimidation and missing procedural rights.

Sammy is part of the Daniels family of Delta State. His mother, Rita Daniels, is a Nollywood actress, and his father, Jude “Jude Ojeogwu” is a lawyer. His sister Regina rose to fame as a young actress and later married Senator Ned Nwoko. The family includes multiple siblings and has maintained a public profile in Nigeria’s entertainment circles.
On his birthday in 2021, Regina posted a heartfelt message calling Sammy her “other half”, “ride or die”, and “perfect husband” (were he not her brother). Sammy responded humorously that he would marry Regina if Ned Nwoko ever took another wife.
The latest development involves Sammy being remanded in Keffi Prison after allegations of an arrest in Lagos and transfer to Abuja with a private jet. The family alleges lack of due process, including denial of legal representation and contact with relatives. The police have yet to provide a full case update.
Sammy’s case has tied into broader discussions about power, celebrity family disputes, and alleged misuse of authority in Nigeria. The high-profile nature of the Daniels family and Senator Nwoko involvement give the matter both entertainment and political dimensions.
Observers will watch for official updates on charges, bail proceedings, and Sammy’s health and treatment in custody. How the family navigates this event may impact public perceptions and Regina’s own standing.
