The family of Tottenham Hotspur star Emmanuel Adebayor is out with the news that he has been neglecting them.
The family alleged that the star, who is also the captain of the Sparrow Hawks of Togo, had ejected his mother madam Alice Adebayor from the US$ 1.5million he bought for the family.
The former Arsenal man, according to reports, are accusing his relatives of doing rituals against him.
Adebayor’s cousin Margaret was quoted to have told Accra-based Peace FM that “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.”
She added, “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 call.
Margaret added: “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.”
But Adebayor was quoted in a report in the Vanguard as denying the allegations.
Although he admitted his relationship with his family has been sour, he denied neglect of his family.
“Ask my sister Margaret 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 explained.
“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
