He 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 (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. The court also dissolved the marriage contracted between Paul and Benedicta due to her adulterous act with Daddy Freeze. https://punchng.com/high-court-fines-daddy-freeze-n5m-for-adultery/?amp Not satisfied with the High Court’s judgement, Daddy Freeze approached the appellate court for redress.
