Adultery: Daddy Freeze’s N5m Damages Appeal For Hearing May 17

Published

on

The Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has reserved ruling in a suit filed by a broadcaster and radio talk show host, Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, seeking to set aside a judgment ordering him to pay the sum of N5 million as damages for allegedly committing adultery with one Benedicta Elechi.

Recall that a High Court sitting in Port Harcourt had on February 18, 2021, ordered Daddy Freeze to pay the sum to Paul Odekina, who was married to Elechi at the time the said act was committed.

The High Court also issued an order of injunction preventing Daddy Freeze from having access or dealing with the children of the marriage until they attain the age of maturity, before dissolving the marriage between Paul and Benedicta due to the woman’s adulterous act with the broadcaster.

However, when the appeal was mentioned on Tuesday, the appellant’s lead counsel, Ola Faro, told the court that his team was ready to argue the case as it had filed all necessary documents and served the parties involved.

Counsel for the 1st and 2nd respondents, B. J. Monsingia and Wilcox Abereton (SAN), who acknowledged receipt of the appellant’s written address, stated that they had also transmitted their written addresses to the appellant and copied the same to the court.

Following the submissions from all the parties, the three-man panel led by Justice T. Y. Hassan declared that the court would reserve a ruling on the appeal to a later date.

A similar appeal filed by Benedicta marked suit no. CA/PH/197/21, she asked the court for a stay of execution of the High Court judgment, which dissolved her marriage to Odenika.

Benedicta, in her appeal, is also asking the court to stay the execution of the order preventing Daddy Freeze from having access or dealing whatsoever with the children of the marriage until they attain the age of maturity, as well as paying the sum of N5 million as damages to Odenika.

On his part, counsel for the appellant, B. J. Monsingia, while tendering an additional motion of appeal, sought the withdrawal of an earlier motion, which the court granted.

The three-man panel, however, struck out the withdrawn motion and adjourned the matter till May 17, 2022, for hearing.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained popular social media influencer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, following a viral video showing him driving recklessly and crashing his vehicle during a live-stream.

According to a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, on Tuesday, the arrest followed public outrage over the incident, which occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025.

In the statement, the police said the suspect’s actions posed a serious threat to public safety and warranted immediate intervention.

“The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained, for further investigation, Habeeb Hamzat aka ‘PELLER’, subsequent to the viral video that surfaced online on Sunday 14th December, 2025, in which he was seen driving recklessly, leading to a dangerous road crash and serious motor accident, while the incident was being live-streamed, thereby endangering his life and that of other road users”, the statement partly read.

The command described the act as extremely dangerous, stressing that such behaviour could have resulted in fatal consequences for both the suspect and innocent road users.

“His action constitutes a deliberate attempt to commit suicide and endangers the lives of other innocent people”,. the statement continued.

The police further disclosed that the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a comprehensive probe.

“The case is currently being investigated by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID). The outcome of the investigation will be made public, and the suspect will be charged to the court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the law”, it added.

The statement added that while reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, issued a strong warning to social media influencers and members of the public against exploiting online platforms to engage in unlawful conduct.

“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Olohundare Jimoh, strongly warns social media influencers, content creators and general members of the public to desist from using social media platforms to engage in or promote reckless, dangerous, or unlawful and criminal acts”. it added.

He warned that such behaviour would no longer be tolerated and assured residents of the command’s resolve to enforce the law without fear or favour.

“Such lawlessness will not be tolerated, and the full weight of the law will be applied on any offender. The Command further urges all road users to comply strictly with traffic regulations and remains committed to ensuring public peace and safety at all times.”

The incident has reignited public debate over the growing trend of risky stunts by content creators in pursuit of online engagement, with many Nigerians calling for stricter enforcement to deter similar acts.

Road traffic crashes remain a major public safety concern in Lagos, with authorities attributing many accidents to speeding, distracted driving and disregard for traffic regulations.

The police have consistently maintained that anyone found culpable in actions capable of endangering lives would be prosecuted, regardless of social status or online influence, as part of efforts to curb rising cases of reckless behaviour on the state’s roads.
