‘You Asked Me To Pay To Have Access To My Daughter’ -Comedian Buchi Alleges As He Calls Out His Estranged In-Laws
Stand-up Nigerian comedian, Onyebuchi Ojieh better known by his stage name, Buchi has once again called out his estranged wife’s parents over a custody battle.
The comic actor, via his Instagram page, revealed that his former in-laws are demanding exorbitant amounts from him before seeing his child.
According to the dad of two, 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 also alleged that they reduced his communication with his daughter from twice a week to one video call and now voice note, and to worsen it, they always block him after every call until he yields to their demand.
In her words:
“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? You can only call with your fone ..

Pls Look into this matter because it’s going to be a movement very soon.”
In another post, he expressed how tired he is of being strong, however, nothing would stop 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.”
Months back, Buchi had accused his estranged wife’s family of abducting his kids and refusing him access to them. He also alleged 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 now estranged wife, Rukky got married in 2017 but in 2022 it was announced that their marriage has hit the rocks. They share two kids.
