Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor has accused his mother and sisters of plotting against him using ‘juju’.<\/p>\n
The player told Accra-based radio station, Peace Fm on Thursday when he was asked about his relationship with his family:\u00a0\u00a0“How can I talk to a mother who together with my sisters have been plotting juju against me?”<\/p>\n
The player, speaking to British newspaper the Daily Mail in 2009, had spoken of his pride at representing his family internationally when he started his career in France, claiming he was “playing for their sake.”<\/p>\n
“At the airport my mum said, ‘go to France and you can change the way this family lives.’ She knew that if I succeeded in football we could have a better life and finally get out of poverty. At 15 I wasn\u2019t just playing for my own glory, I was playing for the sake of my family,” he had said.<\/p>\n
