In the clips, Sammy’s mother, veteran actress Rita Daniels, is seen celebrating his release alongside actress Mercy Johnson, a lawyer, and other family members. The mood was jubilant as Rita Daniels, visibly relieved, exclaimed, “After consulting the gods, the gods did well. The gods did it,” while others cheered in agreement.
The family expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their prayers and support throughout the ordeal, ending their celebration with the phrase “Victoria Asata,” a local expression symbolizing victory and triumph.
Sammy’s detention reportedly stemmed from allegations connected to the ongoing conflict between Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. Earlier reports suggested he was arrested over claims of harassment and intimidation linked to the high-profile marital dispute.
His release comes as a momentary relief for the Daniels family, though the controversy surrounding Regina Daniels’ troubled marriage continues to stir widespread public interest.
Senator Nwoko has previously accused the Daniels family of interfering with his attempts at reconciliation and hinted at possible legal steps against individuals he claims are defaming him online.
