Daddy Freeze under fire over ₦5m adultery fine

Controversial media personality and former OAP, Ifedayo Olarinde better known as Daddy Freeze is currently under fire across social media platforms over adultery fine.

In 2021 a High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State ordered Daddy Freeze to pay five million Naira for committing adultery with Benedicta Elechi.

He was ordered to pay the money to Paul Odekina, who at the time the adulterous act happened was married to Elechi.

Interestingly, the father of three wasn’t pleased with the court’s judgement and approached the appellate court for redress. His main grounds of appeal were that Odekina didn’t attempt to serve him personally before applying for substituted service, which violated Order 7 Rule 2 of the Rules of the Trial Court.

Three years after, in the Certified True Copy of the judgment, dated June 26, 2024, and obtained by The Punch, the three-person panel of Justice Abubakar Talba, Danlami Senchi, and Hannatu Balogun dismissed Daddy Freeze’s appeal for lack of merit.

The court ruled that if the appellant wanted to overturn the trial court’s judgment due to non-service, he should have filed a counter-affidavit against the affidavit of service and then sought to set aside the trial court’s judgment.

Reacting to the judgement during an Instagram live session, Daddy Freeze stated that he had no problem paying the five million Naira fine. He boasts about his wealth and notes that his wrist watches alone cost over a hundred million Naira.

Shockingly he made it known that he is innocent and will not lose. He claimed that the incident happened years ago when he was going through serious torment, and so was the lady, and they both linked up years later in Church.
