Adebayo sacks mother from his residence, claiming she is a witch but striker denies allegations

Togolese international and Hotspurs star, Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor, ordered his machomen to drive out his Mother, Madam Alice Adebayor from his abode in Togo, family sources have revealed to Ghana Sports Newspaper.

When Ghana Sports’ Danny Arkorful contacted Adebayor on phone he declined to comment saying if this is the way his family wants the issue resolved so be it because it will not affect him in anyway.

Angry sisters of Emmanuel Adebayor namely: Magaret Adebayor and Lucia Adebayor in the company of Ade’s cousin Aunty Kudirah Alabi and his neice Bukky Adeniyi stormed the premises of peace fm to complain bitterly about the behavior of the Tottenham Hotspurs striker.

Adebayor’s elder sister Magaret narrated her story: “For the past six years Adebayor has rejected his mother and his immediate family whilst doing charity outside on the premise that our mother is a witch. We have been thinking of his future as a footballer and did not want this issue out in the media but it is becoming too much.

Could you believe Adebayor ordered his machomen to sack our mother and his own mother from a house he built in Togo claiming she is a witch? As we speak our mother lives in an apartment rented by our junior brother, Kola Adebayor, who currently lives in Germany.

My mother weeps bitterly about the issue every day. Anytime his mother or any of us (his close relatives) call and he realizes, he will quickly cut the phone call.

I personally supervised the building of his house in Trassaco and he gave us an apartment in the house. But all of a sudden he changed his attitude towards us, one afternoon his machomen came to drive us away from the house.

Asked as to why Adebayor changed his attitude towards the family all of a sudden, Magaret Adebayor retorted “Nobody can tell, we haven’t wronged him in anyway.

For the past 6 years he has abandoned his responsibilities towards the family and does charity work instead. But as far as I know charity begins at home.” Adebayor’s elder sister Magaret Adebayor lamented.

Adebayor’s younger sister Lucia was all tears saying Ade made her stop schooling with the promise of taking her abroad but she is now selling tomatoes and pepper at medina market in Accra.

In an interview with Peace Fm's head of Sports Dan Kwaku Yeboah, Emmanuel Adebayor, categorically denied the story saying it is unfounded. Adebayor however, admitted he is not on talking terms with his family because they have been plotting juju against him.

He further added that his sisters rented out a property he built for them in East Legon without his knowledge.

"Ask my sister Magaret whether I did not build them a house in East Legon, and what happened to it? I bought my younger sister Lucia a car worth $35,000, where is it?" Ade quizzed.

Asked as to whether the broken ties with the family could be mended he said:

"If they want the issue resolved they should stop spreading the news and let's meet to resolve it but they aren't willing to do so." Adebayor added.
