Nollywood Actor, Gideon Okeke, has cried out over the custody of his two children. The actor lamented over his inability to have full access to his children until they attain 18 years of age.
While lamenting, the divorced father of two children, stated that even people on death row are permitted to be visited thrice before they are executed. But his own case, seems like 18 years jail sentence.
He stated that he has been deprived of seeing his children except in their mother’s place where they live. Also he can’t take them out.
In Gideon Okeke’s words,
“When I think of My 18year jail sentence. I remember even people on death row, get 3 visitations as part of their last living rights
and the choice of a planned meal before their execution.
people serving life, get visitation even leading up to a conjugal. These are rights laid out for the ones who have wronged society. Whose rightful place is in the gallows.
But parental alienation and depravation is an ill punishments upon a father who wants to be there for his sons. But by the Federal Government of my kids affairs… I don’t get custody and yet my visitation rights are restricted, ONLY with the 4 corners of their compound. As in I cant even take them for ICE CREAM.
A marriage went south. this is MY L in Lesson”.
Recall that Gideon Okeke and his ex-wife, Chidera parted ways in May 2022 following irreconcilable differences.
At first the once lovely couple unfollowed each other on Instagram. Later Gideon Okeke took to his Instagram page and confirmed that his wife has been separated from him.
Following this, the court granted, Chidera the custody of their two children and Gideon was denied access to them except within the four walls of a house.
