Daddy Freeze loses at court of appeal over N5m fine for committing adultery

The Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, has upheld a N5m fine imposed on popular Nigerian On-Air Personality, Ifedayo Olarinde aka Daddy Freeze, for committing adultery.

This is coming three years after a High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State ordered Daddy Freeze to pay N5m for committing adultery with one Benedicta Elechi.

On February 18, 2021, the controversial On Air Personality was ordered to pay the money to Paul Odekina, who was married to Elechi at the time the adulterous act was committed.

“The sum of N5,000,000 is awarded against Ifedayo Olarinde aka Daddy Freeze (the 2nd Cross Respondent to the Cross Petition) as damages for depriving the Cross Petitioner of the amiable consort of his wife (Petitioner/1st Cross Respondent) and for injury suffered as a result of his adultery with the Petitioner/Cross Respondent.”

Daddy Freeze is yet to respond to the recent ruling.
