Sammy West, the brother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has been reportedly remanded in Keffi Prison following a court appearance in Abuja.
In a video circulating online, Sammy was seen in court looking visibly downcast. It is one of the first sightings of him since news of his arrest.
Another video obtained by Dockaysworld shows Regina’s mother, Rita Daniels, alongside actress Mercy Johnson in Abuja, reportedly mobilizing efforts to secure his release.
The development comes after Regina revealed that her estranged parents had reconciled to support her amid tensions with her husband, billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.
She had also launched the hashtag campaign #FreeSammyWest, alleging that her brother’s detention was linked to her ongoing marital crisis.
In a new statement shared on social media, one of Sammy’s brother Sweezy, claimed that he has been taken to Keffi Prison in Nassarawa under questionable circumstances, accusing Nwoko of using his influence to manipulate the judicial process.
“He is currently at Keffi Prison! Dutse Magistrate has suddenly disappeared. Ned, you can pay everybody but you can’t pay for integrity! Sammy is currently in prison. Everyone please help me ask Ned what is Sammy’s offense? Sammy said my lawyers are on their way. I was not given an opportunity to call no one! Please can I call them? Judge say remand him till they can file for his bail. Bail has been filed, magistrate has disappeared, no one available to sign. You sha want make he test the prison?? Ned, the most powerful man in the universe, you still no fit big pass God! He wants to be remanded in prison till the 28th of November!” the statement read.
The situation continues to draw attention online, with fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry demanding transparency and justice.
