Emmanuel Adebayor has found himself in the middle of a bizarre family feud after suggesting that his mother was a witch. The Tottenham Hotspur striker’s family, who live in Africa, accused the star of kicking his mother out of her home. They claim that the footballer’s decision to cut ties with his mother has left her earning just £1-a-day from selling tomatoes. The 30-year-old star, who earns £170,000-a-week, accused the family of performing ‘juju’ on him, a term given to the practice of witchcraft in West Africa. The Christian footballer denied that he had mistreated his mother Alice, 62, and said that the family was using advisors in black magic against him.
He told Ghanaian radio station Peace FM:
‘Obviously I’m not a pastor, I am a footballer so I cannot point out a witch. I never sacked my mum from the house — she decided to leave the house. But how am I going to be in touch with my mum if my mum is the one telling everyone that my work will not go forward. They should stop talking, talking, they should stop doing juju on me — they should leave me alone.’
