Norwegian club Molde Fotballklubb have suspended Nigerian midfielder Daniel Daga following serious legal developments involving the player.

The Flying Eagles midfielder has been formally charged with alleged sexual conduct without consent, an offence under Section 297 of the Norwegian Penal Code.

According to the club, the alleged incident was first reported to the Norwegian police in late April 2025. Molde also disclosed that both the club and the player have cooperated fully with authorities since the investigation began.

As a result of the charge, Daga has been removed from all team-related activities, including training sessions and matches, while legal proceedings are ongoing.

“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.
