Nigerian comedian Buchi Ojieh has taken to Instagram to express his frustration over the alleged denial of access to his children by his estranged wife Rukky’s parents. This follows Buchi’s previous claim in September, where he accused his former in-laws of “abducting” his kids.
In a recent series of Instagram posts, the comic actor accused his ex-parents-in-law, whom he addressed as Mr. and Mrs. Salami, of demanding money from him before granting him access to his children.
Buchi stated, “Mr. and Mrs. Salami… you people have my kids.. your plan worked.. Am not fighting you.. U are leaders at The Redeemed Christian Church there, I know for sure that RCCG Nigeria will not allow such.. You need to tell me why I can’t speak to my kids.. please, if you are in the US help me call the church.. The pastor knows the matter! Leaders should lead by example.. #enoughisenough @james_fadel Pastor @james_fadel Please look into this matter!!”
In another post, he continued, “Mr. and 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? Twice communication a week is now 1 video call then VN abi? u can only call with your phone.. u block me after every call until I don beg abi? okay make una take I can’t meet your offer.. I work in Naira .. if it’s hard for you return my kids please!! gather your evidence I have mine please @james_fadel @febidahosa do u have friends in RCCG? Please look into this matter because it’s going to be a movement very soon.. #daddydaughter”
Buchi and Rukky got married in 2017, and the union is blessed with two children. Rumors circulated last year that their marriage faced challenges due to alleged violence.
