Daga has been out of action since November 2025 following the legal proceedings, with his absence affecting both his club career and hopes of returning to national team contention.
With the Court of Appeal’s unanimous decision, the midfielder is now expected to resume training and competitive action with Norwegian club Molde FK once the ruling becomes legally final.
The verdict marks a significant turning point for the Nigerian midfielder, whose football career had been put on hold during the course of the case.
