Outspoken Nigerian media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde better known as Daddy Freeze has reportedly been contacted by Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo to be granted an interview as part of a series of tactics with the aim of telling his own side of the story concerning rape allegations trailing him.
In his statement, the leader of ‘ Free the sheepie’ movement failed to confirm or deny if he has been contacted or not.
He wrote on Instagram: “From the very first video I did on this issue, I made it clear that my platform was available to BOTH parties in the spirit of truth and fairness as the scripture teacher that I pride myself to be and brandish with boldness on the bio of all my social media accounts.
(John 7:24, James2:1, James2:9, Deuteronomy 1:17)

This notwithstanding, we must judge righteous judgement. (John7:24)
In the court of law, both parties would be entitled to a proper defense team and the right to a fair hearing. Since this matter is already being judged before the court of public opinion, I’d like to suggest that those rights be maintained”
