Flying Eagles midfielder Daniel Daga has been charged with alleged sexual conduct without consent, reports Completesports.com.
Molde revealed that the incident was reported to the authorities in April.
The club further stated that they and the player have cooperated with the police throughout the investigation.
“Daniel has been informed of the charges and has been removed from training and matches for the time being. After the end of the season, Daniel traveled home in connection with the team’s planned vacation. Daniel and the club have agreed that he will return to Norway ahead of the legal proceedings,” the club announced.

Molde chairman Odd Ivar Moen commented on the situation.
“We have previously experienced how demanding this type of case is for those involved, for the club and for everyone around us. This is a serious matter, and we take the charges that have been brought very seriously,” said Moen.
Daga’s lawyer, Astrid Bolstad, confirmed that the Nigerian youngster does not admit guilt.
“My client acknowledges that there was a sexual incident, but maintains that it was consensual. He believes that he has done nothing illegal and does not admit guilt. We are surprised that charges have been brought after the investigation that has been carried out,” Bolstad said.

I don’t understand the work of agents, counselors and clubs administrators in helping these players transition to a new environment, culture and country with different laws. NIgerian players are always falling for this same mistake. Most of the time, once you breakup with the girl she files a sexual case on you. The best bet is for these players to be married before coming over or live with mom or dad if they are minors. NFF should hire consultants and local clubs should do likewise in giving players proper orientation for international transfer. It is done in Europe and South America. Am sure Morocco does it. I pray for him, but with social media, Daga should know better.
This is sad! Maybe there should periodic seminars organized by the NFF for these professional footballers, anchored by Etim Esin, apology to him! There’s need for them to know that having affairs with these White Ladies may be very dangerous to their career!
Women are career killers guys zip up and don’t destroy your destiny.
Why is it so difficult for these players to be discipline and learn simple lesson from people who have been victims of this same carree-ending offence. What will it take for them to learn to stay away from these Scandinavian girls who seems to be out there to destroy them and their career. This same offence ended Akinkunmi Amoo’s career, one of the finest talented footballers that could carry Nigerian senior national team to the orbit.
And again there goes another talent, super eagles prospect falling victim of sam offence.
Our mothers, sisters and daughters are not career killers. Not all women are like this.
Let us not commit the fallacy of hasty generalization, ascribing to all women the fault of one woman.
Besides, this women may actually be a victim. Only the 2 of them know what really happened.
Charges have been brought, and the law will take it’s course.
A boy that has the opportunity to use football to improve his lot in life has almost flushed it all down the toilet. And for what? Olorun ma je ka rin sinu agbako.
