The Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt has upheld the fine imposed on popular Nigerian On-Air Personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, known as Daddy Freeze, for committing adultery. On February 18, 2021, a High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, ordered Daddy Freeze to pay N5 million for committing adultery with Benedicta Elechi. The payment was to be made to Paul Odekina, who was married to Elechi at the time of the affair.

The court awarded N5 million against Ifedayo Olarinde as damages for depriving Paul Odekina of the companionship of his wife and for the injury suffered due to the adultery. The court also dissolved the marriage between Paul and Benedicta because of her adulterous relationship with Daddy Freeze.

Not satisfied with the High Court's judgment, Daddy Freeze appealed the decision. His main arguments were that Odekina did not attempt to serve him personally before applying for substituted service, which he claimed violated Order 7 Rule 2 of the Rules of the Trial Court. He also argued that the service by substituted means, such as by courier, was ineffective as indicated in the affidavit of service, and that the lack of proper service violated the principles of natural justice.
