The court ruled against him for having sex with Benedicta Elechi, who was still legally married at the time of the incident.
Daddy Freeze, in a YouTube video, however, said the ruling was issued in his absence as he was never served by the court.
He said: “Many of you would have been surprised as I was to wake up one morning and see a judgement from a Rivers State High Court. Well, the court never served me, so the judgement was obtained in my absence.
“What we will do now is go straight to the Appeal Court. A lot of people are unaware that the judgement is not final until it gets to the Supreme Court.
“I’m very confident in the judiciary system, and I do believe that I will receive a fair judgement.”
