renounced Christ accepted Allah and the Islamic
religion on Sunday the 5th of July 2015. The

FOOTBALL CAREER

Lomé – a popular football training school back
then.

In 1991, he was spotted in Sweden by Metz

having played against Jose Mourinho’s Porto in

Togo’s qualification of 2006 Africa Cup of

qualifiers.

Emmanuel Adebayor is a center-forward striker.
AWARDS

Adebayor was picked by CAF for the 2008
African Football of the Year on 10 February 2009
at an awards ceremony held in Lagos, Nigeria.
He was the first Togolese to win the African
Football of the Year, beating Egypt’s nominee
Mohamed Aboutrika and Ghana’s football star
Michael Essien in a vote that involved the
national team coaches of CAF’s 54 member-
nations.
THE ADEBAYOR FAMILY CRISIS

The scuffle between the Adebayors started in
November 2014 after the striker sent his mother
and sister out of his mansion in Accra, accusing
them of witchcraft and using charms on him.
Emmanuel Adebayor told All Sports that he will
never talk to his mother who he alleged was
behind his poor performance in his career at
that time.

In response, Adebayor’s elder brother slammed
the footballer for branding their mother a witch.
He rather accused Emmanuel of being
brainwashed by Muslim alfas, who prophesied
when he scores goals and why he is not playing
well.

Extended family members who weighed into the
case also called for peace and warned the
soccer star to stop washing the family’s dirty
linen in public.

They then called on the Adebayors to give
attention to their family house in Igbaye, Osun
state, Nigeria. The scruffy house was built by
Emmanuel’s late father while he was living in
Ghana. He never brought home his children and
was buried in Togo after his death in 2005.
