Adebayor accuses mum of witchcraft

Togo and Tottenham Hotspurs striker, Emmanuel Adebayor, has claimed that his own mother and relatives have been plotting ‘juju’ (witchcraft) against him aimed at bringing his career to a premature end.

The player told Accra, Ghana-based radio station, Peace FM, on Thursday when he was asked about his relationship with his family: “How can I talk to a mother who together with my sisters have been plotting juju against me?

“They should stop talking talking, they should stop doing Juju on me; they should leave me alone.”

Adebayor was responding to criticism from his family that he no longer takes care of them.

Adebayor’s sister had earlier revealed in a interview with the station that the Tottenham Hotspur striker had abandoned his family, leaving them in an impoverished state and had declined to answer any of the calls they had made to him for over a year.
