Regina Daniels’ Mum, Mercy Johnson, Seen Helpless in Court as Son Faces Prison: “The Heat Is Hot”

• Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ brother, Sammy, has been remanded in Keffi prison by a Dutse Magistrate
• Sammy was reportedly remanded on Thursday without access to a legal representative, according to reports from the family
• A video went viral online, capturing the actress’ mum, Rita Daniels, in the company of her colleague, Mercy Johnson, outside the court premises

Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita Daniels, was seen visibly distressed in court as her son, Sammy, was denied bail and ordered to be remanded in Keffi Prison until November 28.

Sammy, the brother of the popular actress, is currently facing charges following her marital crisis with Senator Ned Nwoko.

His elder brother, Sweezzy1, confirmed the development in a recent social media post, stating that the court refused to grant bail and that Sammy would remain in custody until November 28.

Sweezzy1 also appealed for his brother’s release, expressing concern about the poor conditions in which Sammy is being held.

He alleged that Sammy’s health has deteriorated due to the deplorable state of the detention facility. In a separate post, their mother, Rita Daniels, shared a photo of Sammy in detention.

The picture, which has since circulated widely online, showed him seated in a poorly lit room with visible bruises on his arms and body, sparking sympathy and concern among fans.

Videos from the courtroom showed Mercy Johnson present with her colleague, Doris Ogala, as they supported Regina Daniels. The three could be seen outside the court premises, looking helpless and disoriented due to Sammy’s condition.

“So you do this to her family, and you expect her to return to your house! Make it make sense! No matter what, he shouldn’t have done this to the mother of his children. So after you’ve treated her badly, disrespected your in-laws, you expect her to use her legs to return back to your house? Nawa o.”
