Emmanuel Adebayor has claimed that his mother and relatives are using "Juju" (witcraft) to end his football career.
The Togo and Tottenham striker, has stayed away from his family including his mother, who he went with to receive the African Footballer of the year award in Lagos, Nigeria.
"For the past six years, Adebayor has rejected his mother and his immediate family whilst doing charity outside on premise that our mother is a witch" Adebayor's cousin, Margaret told Peace Fm, Ghana.
"We have been thinking of his future as a footballer and we didn't want this issue out in the media, but it is becoming too much. Could you believe Adebayor ordered his macho-men to sack our mother and his 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 is currently in Germany. My mother weeps bitterly about the issue everyday. Anytime his mother or any of us (his relatives) call and he realizes, he will quickly cut the line."
"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 macho-men came to drive us away from the house" Margaret told the world openly.
But Adebayor, who admitted having problems with his relations denied the allegation and said it's them who refused to come forward for the issue to be resolved.
"Ask my sister Margaret, if 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?
If they want the issue to be resolved, they should stop spreading the news and let's meet to resolve it but they ain't willing to do so" Adebayo said.
