The founder and senior pastor of Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt, David Ibiyeomie, has threatened to kill popular on air Personality and religious critics, Ifedayo Olarinde, otherwise known as Daddy Freeze, a media personality, over his critical stance of David Oyedepo, the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church (Winner Chapel).
In a recent Instagram post, the controversial on-air-personality had tackled Oyedepo for asking women to submit to their husbands.
But in a now-viral video from his Sunday service, the televangelist stated that he would deal with Freeze if he ever insults “my father”.
“Insult me, I won’t comment but insult Oyedepo… that b**tard, any day I hear you talk about him… Do they know his (Freeze’s) father? Does Daddy Freeze have a father? Who’s his father?” Ibiyeomie asked.
“That half-caste who is born by a Somalian? The day I hear him insult Oyedepo, I’ll deal with him. Oyedepo may not talk but I can’t be alive and you’d insult my father. I can’t take it.
“I’ll tear you to pieces, b**tard. People who have fathers don’t insult fathers. He’s insulting because he has no father. Does he (Freeze) look like a Nigerian? Somebody they gave birth to on the ship.
“I curse the day he was born, tell him. This should be the last time he’d talk about Oyedepo. A man who is not married; he has no wife. He can’t take care of his home but he’s coming to talk on TV.
“If he has one, let him show us his father’s future. Somebody that is a broadcaster, does he have a good job? I will never be alive to see someone insult my father. You’re not born! I’ll kill, arrest him.”
Freeze, whose real name is Ifedayo Olarinde, is known for his blunt criticism of Nigerian pastors.
In February, he had disagreed with Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), over his counsel on marriage.
The OAP also made headlines in June after he was accused of “attacking pastors but celebrating fraudsters” — due to his alleged relationship with Hushpuppi, an internet celebrity accused of cyberfraud.
Amid the backlash that trailed Hushpuppi’s case, a video had surfaced and went viral on social media wherein Freeze could be seen dining with the suspected cyber-fraudster and his associates in Dubai.
