  🇳🇴 Daniel Daga Sentenced by Norwegian Court, Appeals Verdict Molde FK midfielder Daniel Daga has been sentenced to six months in prison by a Norwegian court after being found guilty of committing a sexual act without consent. The Nigerian midfielder joined Molde FK from Enyimba just a year ago as one of the promising young talents to move from the NPFL to Europe. However, Daga has appealed the ruling through his lawyer, meaning the decision is not yet legally final and the case will continue through the Norwegian judicial system. Molde FK have also confirmed that the midfielder will not be included in the club’s matchday squad until further notice while the legal process continues.

Lawyers need to Provide Leadership, Direction to the Public – ICPC Boss

The Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Professor Bolaji Owasanoye SAN, OFR, has posited that the wrong trajectory being observed in the legal profession in the country can be corrected if lawyers provide leadership and direction to members of the public who engage their services. 

The ICPC boss stated this while hosting the new National executive committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) who were at the Commission’s headquarters on Tuesday on a courtesy visit.

Professor Owasanoye, who decried the alarming rate of how some lawyers undermine the profession, cited examples of lawyers who enmeshed themselves in questionable acts that have overtly rubbed off on the legal profession in the country.

“Many who claimed to be lawyers are not living up to the name and they embarrass all of us. Many of them undermine the integrity of the profession by betraying the very essence of our training. How do you explain why a lawyer would put forward or try to defend an illegal contract. We have seen an agreement prepared by a lawyer for people to engage in illegal transaction. While the agreement was violated, a lawyer who we believe should know better wrote to ICPC to intervene. We all know it is wrong for someone to pay to get a job in public service and here we are seeing a lawyer drafting an agreement for the parties involved.”

The ICPC Chairman added that the unprofessional conduct of some lawyers were reason why the perception of the legal body was low in the country just as he warned that Nigeria was at risk of being grey-listed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
