- Daddy Freeze stated that he had no problem paying an N5million fine as his watches alone cost over N100million.
- He made it known that he is innocent and will not lose.
Former on-air personality Daddy Freeze has spoken out after court ordered him to pay a fine of N5million for adultery.
The court ruling, which was upheld by an appellate court, stems from a 2021 case involving Daddy Freeze, his wife, and her ex-husband.
The media personality was ordered by the High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to pay the sum of N5m for sleeping with a woman who was still legally married when the said sex happened.
In a video on his Youtube channel, Daddy Freeze said the court judgment was obtained in his absence.
He said the judgement came as a surprise to him just as many of his fans were when they heard the verdict.
He stated that he would be approaching the Appeal Court to seek a fair judgement.
Daddy Freeze’s appeal was however dismissed due to a lack of merit, with the court suggesting that he should have filed a counter-affidavit against the affidavit of service to overturn the trial court’s judgment.
Reacting through his Instagram live video, Daddy Freeze showed his luxury watches, stating that his watches alone are worth over N100 million, demonstrating that the fine does not disturb him.
He claims innocence and views the incident as a past torment that he and the lady have moved beyond.
He said:
“I Will Pay The N5Million Adultery Fine; my Watches alone Cost Over N100Million, But I Am Innocent, and I will not lose; I am innocent; this happened Many years ago. I was Going Through serious Torment, so was the lady, and we both Jam many years later in Church; this happened over 12 years ago”.
