The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has clarified the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Samuel Ojeogwu, popularly known as Sammy West, the brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.

Ojeogwu was arrested in Lagos last week and subsequently taken to Abuja, prompting Regina Daniels to raise alarm on social media, alleging that the police were acting under the influence of her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

However, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said on Friday that Ojeogwu’s arrest was lawful and conducted in accordance with due process.

According to Adeh, the police had sent several invitations to Ojeogwu in connection with a petition filed against him but received no response. His eventual arrest, she said, was carried out with a valid court warrant.

“On October 28, 2025, the FCT Metro Area Command received a petition against Mr. Samuel Ojeogwu and three others over alleged criminal conspiracy, trespass, assault, intimidation, theft, and cyberbullying,” Adeh explained.

“Despite several invitations, he did not show up. He was later arrested in Lagos with a valid court warrant and taken to Abuja for further investigation.”

She added that after the investigation was concluded, Ojeogwu was charged to court on November 6, 2025, for the listed offences.

“The court has ordered his remand until he meets his bail conditions,” Adeh said, stressing that the police would continue to maintain professionalism and uphold the rule of law.
