Former Barcelona player Dani Alves who is currently being investigated by Spanish authorities in a sexual assault case, will have to remain in jail as a court on Monday, June 12, denied his request to be freed on bail. Alves was provisionally detained in January after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a nightclub in Barcelona on Dec. 30. He has denied wrongdoing and said sex with the accuser was consensual.

A trial date has not been set. A Barcelona court ruled on Monday that Dani Alves remains a flight risk and should remain in jail until the investigation is concluded. The court previously denied a similar request by the footballer’s defence team in May. Alves’ lawyers had tried to discredit testimony by the alleged victim and other witnesses by presenting security camera footage showing that Alves and the victim were flirting with each other at the nightclub. But the court said in its ruling on Monday that the flirting should not “in any way justify an eventual sexual assault.”

They said Alves and his family had plans to live in Barcelona, but the court dismissed the argument because his children were only registered as residents a few weeks ago. Under Spain’s sexual consent law passed last year, sexual assault takes in a wide array of crimes from online abuse and groping to rape, each with different possible punishments. A case of rape can receive a maximum sentence of 15 years. 40-year-old Alves won 42 soccer titles, including three Champions Leagues with Barcelona and two Copa Americas with Brazil. He played in his third World Cup last year in Qatar.
Nigerian musician, Iyanya has dragged a social media user who undermined his music career in a post on Twitter. Iyanya who has contributed massively to the music genre chanced on a post of a Twitter user who was belittling a remark made by Ubi Franklin during a show. Ubi Franklin reportedly gave a shoutout to Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid for how they are promoting Afrobeats globally. However, while praising these three artists, he didn’t forget to acknowledge Iyanya as well. The Twitter user who didn’t agree with the opinion of Ubi Franklin that Iyanya has contributed to Afrobeat trashed the comment of Ubi Franklin. He wrote; “Ubi Franklin gave shout out to Davido, Wizkid, Rema and Burna Boy for what they’re doing to Afrobeats internationally and he mentioned Iyanya too.” While reacting to the post of the Twitter user, the “Kukere” hitmaker Iyanya, blasted him and noted that only someone who is brainless will undermine his relevance. He wrote; “And who are you again? Only a brainless person will try to undermine my contribution to this game till date. You definitely are clueless.” And who are you again? Only a brainless person will try to undermine my contribution to this game till date.
