Daddy Freeze Secretly Marries Benedicta Elechi After Court Fined Him N5m For Adultery

Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has secretly tied the knot with his lover, Benedicta Elechi in the United Kingdom after a Nigerian court ordered him to pay the sum of N5m for committing adultery with a married woman.

On February 18, 2021, Freeze was ordered by a High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to pay the money to Paul Odekina, who was married to Elechi at the time the adulterous act was committed.

Odekina had taken the media personality to court for having an affair with his then-wife who the Judge referred to as a “self-acclaimed adulterer” and welcoming a child with her.

In his ruling, Justice Akpughunum awarded N5 million against Freeze as damages for depriving Odekina of the amiable consort of his wife and for the injury suffered as a result of his adultery with the married woman.

The Judge then proceeded to dissolve the marriage between Odekina and Elechi due to the woman’s adulterous act with Daddy Freeze.
