‘Here is his son and today I declare him as my first son. Let me introduce you to my first son. His name is Junior Emmanuel Adebayor. Blessings.’
Adebayor who currently plays for Turkish league leaders Istanbul Basaksehir, lost his elder brother Peter in July 2013, leaving his son behind.
His late brother, Peter was among his family members who he accused of witchcraft and repeated plots to extort him of his hard earn money.
At that time, the footballer admitted that he almost committed suicide and revealed that another brother, Kola, accused him of causing Peter’s death.
