Comedian Buchi Accuses Ex-Wife's US Lover of Assaulting His Daughter
Popular Nigerian comedian Onyebuchi Ojieh, widely known as Buchi, has ignited a social media firestorm by publicly accusing Jubril Isede, his ex-wife Claire's US-based lover, of physically assaulting his young daughter. In a series of fiery Instagram posts, the humor merchant detailed shocking allegations of mistreatment, including beatings and the unauthorized seizure of his child's personal belongings.
Buchi's Emotional Social Media Outburst
Buchi's posts were filled with raw anger and frustration as he directly addressed Jubril Isede. He wrote in one post: "Jubril ISEDE.. shameless boy.. u must beat my daughter n nothing i fit do abi?? No go rent house.. ole Caprisomme!! touch my pikin again." The comedian's use of Pidgin English underscored the intensity of his emotions, accusing Jubril of crossing severe boundaries.
In another explosive post, Buchi alleged that Jubril had seized his daughter's phone and was inappropriately attempting to assume a father figure role. He mocked Jubril's financial status and pursuit of the American dream, writing: "Jubril ISede Azmin acct balance for Bank of America pass all ur life savings Stingy boy.. u say u go beat me abi.. touch the attachment on her hair after them don loose am.. u dey seize her fone?? wetin u no fit afford make she no call me soon.."
The comedian further escalated the situation by dragging Jubril's sister into the controversy, accusing her of enabling the alleged abuse. He posted: "the_jubril the_jubril U said to me there's nothing i can do .. So America far for ur eye?? @ruqiisede u gave ur brother approval to beat my pikin .. !! everybody who ever played a role to steal my kids will be exposed !!"
Public Reaction to the Allegations
Netizens reacted strongly to Buchi's public outburst, with many expressing outrage and concern for the child's welfare. User n_n_e_ka commented: "Any mother that allows her man beat her daughter has already picked sides, and it's not her child." Another user, mercyffrancis, questioned: "Why will some women allow their boyfriends to hit their child??? For what??????"
Some comments highlighted broader issues of divorce and child welfare. User lanky_fez noted: "If he beat her again, nothing will happen. You can only continue wailing. When you know you have kids, why did you divorce. You decided to throw the kids away and make them struggle. Divorce affects kids more." Meanwhile, mr_dubemtiger offered support: "Tag his handle make we help u out bro."
Background of Buchi's Troubled Relationship
This incident is not the first public controversy involving Buchi's estranged wife. In 2021, reports surfaced that his then-wife Rukky had caused disturbances in their residential estate, leading to harassment of security personnel and property vandalism. The estate management charged them N700,000 for damages, which they reportedly refused to pay, resulting in their electricity being disconnected. Rukky's subsequent protests led to her arrest for disturbing the peace of the estate.
The current allegations add another layer to the comedian's ongoing personal struggles, highlighting the complex dynamics of post-divorce parenting and the potential dangers children face when caught in adult conflicts. Buchi's decision to take the matter public reflects a growing trend of celebrities using social media platforms to address personal grievances and seek public support in domestic disputes.
