The mother of a millionaire Premier League footballer has been left heartbroken after her son claimed that she was practising black magic on him.
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.
But his family, who are from Togo, hit back by claiming that the star had been ‘brainwashed’ by Islamic spiritual healers who told him that his poor form on the football pitch was down to black magic.
While Adebayor scored 14 goals in 25 games last season for Tottenham, he has only managed two strikes in 12 matches so far this campaign.

He accused his family members of plotting what to do with his wealth when he dies and said they were using advisors he referred to as ‘juju people’.
