Togolese footballer, Emmanuel Adebayor’s mother Alice and his younger brother, Rotimi have finally apologized to their young son following a recent visit from a delegation in Nigeria.
The delegation was made up of family members and friends who all monitored the online drama between the family.
They all met with Emmanuel and his siblings in Didjole and Avedji in Lome, Togo in a bid to settle the rift between them.
One member of the delegation, Emmanuel Folorunsho told reporters that the Mother was sad and even made a prayer for her son but Emmanuel is yet to accept their plea owing to some reasons which he wouldn’t like to reveal.
“We met Alice at the market in Koviakope where she sells kitchen utensils. She was quite surprised to see us. She presented her own case and prayed for his son.
Although the former Gunners striker and his mother didn’t see each other, she had reasons to ask him to forgive and let peace reign in the family. Soon after, we met Sheyi and conveyed the message to him”
Meanwhile Rotimi who reportedly survived a suicide attempt 10 days ago, was also at the meeting and when he was called by reporters, he said that indeed his elder brother, Emmanuel invited him and he obliged.
“I was at home in Avedji when he called me to join the peace meeting. I prostrated to him for long hours, begging and seeking for forgiveness. I am really frustrated now and I really expect him to pardon us now”
Rotimi then claimed to be psychologically affected by the rancour said he only want his brother to forget the past.
“I am very ill now and I need money to treat myself. I also need cash to pay for my house rent, which is already due for payment. I asked him to assist me but he refused. I hope my plea would not be for nothing”
Emmanuel seems keen on moving on with his life after alleging that his family have tried to kill him and make his life unbearable, Lucia, the last child of the family is the only sibling Emmanuel Adebayor holds no grudge against.
The kinmen after seeing their attempts wither are now making frantic efforts to consult spiritualists as a way to combat the crisis.
Emmanuel Folorunsho who was in the team that met with Emmanuel Adebayor in Lome, added his own view in support of the move.
“It is true that we have plans to meet with spiritualists because we have met the two parties and there is a deadlock at the moment. We cannot fold our arms and leave the situation in a messy state neither are we going to wait for it to get messier.”
“All I know is that prayer is the key and we’ll employ that to solve the situation. We hope God Almighty will speak to them and a lasting peace will reign.”
Last week, the Onigbaye of Igbaye, His Royal Majesty, Oba Joseph Morounfoye Okunlola explained that they had consulted with their Gods, concerning the situation in Emmanuel Adebayor’s family. He went on to say that they must appease the gods if their situation is to change.
Adebayor had in three facebook posts explained why he harbours ill feelings to his family expecially his mother and Rotimi.
