Benedicta Elechi, wife of controversial OAP Daddy Freeze, has spoken out about the allegations of an affair with him while she was still married to her ex-husband, Paul Odekina.
Recently, a Court of Appeal upheld a fine of N5 million against Daddy Freeze for depriving Odekina of his wife’s companionship and causing injury through adultery.
Addressing the court’s decision and public speculations, Benedicta clarified that she filed for divorce due to her ex-husband’s sexuality, not because of an affair.
She emphasized that she started a relationship with Daddy Freeze during her 10-year divorce proceedings, not while she was still married.

In her words:
“If divorcing my ex 12 years ago and starting a relationship before the end of my 10-year divorce lawsuit makes me an adulteress, I will wear that tag with pride,” Benedicta said.
She added, “For every woman going through a divorce who thinks they can’t find love and move on because the judiciary system takes years to issue a divorce certificate, I am doing this for you.
“I filed for divorce 12 years ago. If anyone is trying to make it look like I was caught in adultery and then divorced, that’s not true. I filed for divorce because we have different sexual orientations,” she explained.
