Former Flying Eagles midfielder Daniel Daga has been suspended by his Norwegian club, Molde FK, as he faces a police investigation over an alleged sexual assault, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Molde FK confirmed the suspension in an official statement on Friday, revealing that the alleged incident was first reported to authorities in late April 2025. Daga has been formally charged with committing a sexual act without consent, an offence under Section 297 of the Norwegian Penal Code.
Legal proceedings are scheduled to take place in March 2026 at the Nordmøre and Romsdal District Court. The club emphasized that both Daga and Molde FK have fully cooperated with the police throughout the investigation.
The development was also confirmed by a source at Daga’s former Nigerian club.
Before his suspension, Daga last played for Molde on November 24 in a 2-1 away victory against Strømsgodset. Following the notification of his indictment, he has been barred from all training sessions and matches indefinitely.
This season, Daga featured in 15 games for Molde across all competitions, scoring two league goals.
The midfielder joined the Norwegian Eliteserien side from FC ONE Rocket in January on a three-year contract. In October, he represented Nigeria at the FIFA U-20 World Cup for the second time, where the Flying Eagles were eliminated 4-0 by Argentina in the round of 16.
