Nigerian comedian, Onyebuchi Ojieh better known by his stage name, Buchi has once again called out his estranged wife’s family over a custody battle.
The comedian, via his Instagram page, revealed that his former inlaws are demanding exorbitant amounts from him before seeing him.
According to him, they asked him to pay to have access to his daughter, describing it as Child welfare and he agreed to it, now, they are demanding more.
He stated that they reduced his communication with his daughter from twice a week to 1 video call and now voice note, and to worsen it, they always block him after every call until he yields to their demand.
“Mr n Mrs SALAMI .. wake UP!! U people asked me to pay to have access but it’s “child welfare “.. that anything I have I should pay first .. i paid the money .. una say e no reach more access is more money abi? 2ice communication a week is now 1 video call then vn abi? u can only call with ur fone .. u block me after every call until I don beg abi?

In another post, he expressed how tired he is of being strong, however, nothing would still him from fighting for his children.
“My lovely child .. am tired of being strong .. NO FORCE IN THE WORLD WILL STOP ME.. The storm is coming .. I need to know why I can’t talk to my baby”.
Taking to his comment section, many drummed support for him, questioning why women use their kids against their estranged partners.

One Joan Odenu wrote, “Love the fact that men are longer leaving their kids for their wives totally after separation cos some men will say, when they’re grown, they will look for me
One Zainab Garba wrote, “Why are ur wives denying u guys access to ur kids for God’s sake?”.
Months back, Buchi had accused his estranged wife’s family of abducting his kids and refusing him access to them, alleging that his wife’s family facilitated the abduction of his kids, Isede and Salami.
He noted how they can only stop him from talking to them, but can’t stop the law, as he threw several questions at her.
In what seems like a warning to them, he told them to allow him to have access to their kids.
Buchi and his wife got married in 2017 and share two kids. Their marriage hit the rock last year over alleged violence from his wife.
Popular Instagram blogger, Gist Lovers alleged that things fell apart for the duo, as Rukky is very violent and well-known in their neighborhood for her violence.
In similar news, a few months back, Nigerian on-air personality, Kayode Ojuolape Oladotun, popularly known as Do2dtun, had cried out over his inability to have access to his children.
His wife, Omotayo in 2022, filed for separation from him after almost 9 years of marriage over forced abortion, domestic violence, and emotional abuse.
On his Instagram page, the OAP stated that it had been 10 months since he set his eyes on his children, stressing that he missed them so much.
