The Digest:

Nollywood star Mercy Johnson has publicly condemned the arrest of Regina Daniels' brother, Sammy West, labeling the act, which involved his transfer from Lagos to Abuja without legal access, as the "worst form of injustice" and questioning the civility of the nation.

Key Points:
  • Mercy Johnson demanded Sammy West's release via her Instagram story.
  • She described the arrest as "pretended justice" and lamented the situation.
  • Sammy West was reportedly flown from Lagos to Abuja and taken directly to court.
  • Another brother, Sweezzy, alleged he was denied access to a lawyer.
  • The family has labeled the event a "kidnapping" rather than a lawful arrest.
  • This follows Regina Daniels' earlier allegations of physical assault by Senator Ned Nwoko.
  • Nwoko had previously claimed Regina was under the influence of hard drugs.
This escalation reveals how a domestic storm can rapidly expand, drawing in family and public figures, and raising urgent questions about the use of state power in private conflicts
