Ann Izuegbu has been arraigned in Abuja over alleged cybercrime and remanded at Suleja Correctional Centre until her next court date.
Anthonet Ngozi Izuegbu, popularly known as Ann and described as a friend of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has been arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged cybercrime.
According to a report by National Waves, Izuegbu was rearrested on Monday following a petition reportedly filed by Daniels and arraigned on Wednesday.
After taking her plea, the court ordered that she be remanded at the Suleja Correctional Centre. The case was adjourned until December 10, 2026.
The allegations against Izuegbu reportedly include claims of theft and blackmail raised in Daniels’ petition. However, the precise charges before the court and the defendant’s plea were not detailed in the report.
The police are also reportedly expected to file additional charges, although no further charges had been confirmed in the account provided.
The latest court proceedings follow earlier allegations involving Izuegbu and Senator Ned Nwoko, Daniels’ estranged husband.
A statement previously issued by Nwoko’s media team claimed that Izuegbu’s earlier arrest was connected to alleged criminal defamation over statements concerning the lawmaker and his wife, Laila Nwoko.
The statement disputed allegations that Nwoko had physically assaulted Laila, resulting in a miscarriage, describing the claims as false and unsupported.
It also accused Izuegbu of involvement in other alleged misconduct, including claims relating to controlled substances and an abortion involving Daniels during her marriage to Nwoko.
These claims were allegations contained in the media team’s statement and should not be treated as established facts or findings by a court.
The statement further referred to a witness statement allegedly submitted to the Maitama Area Command on October 29, 2025, concerning activities attributed to Izuegbu and other individuals.
Nwoko’s media team maintained that the matter was a law-enforcement issue rather than merely a dispute on social media.
Izuegbu’s previous court appearance was reportedly stalled on July 16, 2026, when the matter came before Justice Ekerete Akpan of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
According to the report, she collapsed and was absent from the proceedings, prompting the court to adjourn the matter to September 15, 2026.
The latest arraignment marks a further development in the case, which has attracted public attention because of the individuals involved and the allegations circulated in the media.
Izuegbu’s remand does not amount to a conviction. The allegations against her remain subject to the court process, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
