Emmanuel Adebayor’s mother Alice and his younger brother, Rotimi have 
apologized him following a visit of a delegation from Nigeria. The 
delegation, who are family members and friends, and have been following 
the drama happening online in the Adebayor household, met with Emmanuel 
and his siblings- in Didjole and Avedji in Lome, Togo in a bid to settle
 the rift between them.
According to a member of the delegation, Emmanuel Folorunsho, who 
confirmed this to Sunday Sunsports in a phone chat, Adebayor’s mother 
was remorseful and even prayed for his son but the football star 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”
Emmanuel's brother Rotimi, who reportedly survived a suicide attempt 10 
days ago, was at the meeting in Adebayor’s house in Didjole. When Sunday
 Sunsports put a call through to the Royale FC of Benin striker, he 
confirmed that 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”
Sunday Sunsports asked Rotimi about his reaction when Emmanuel Adebayor 
refused to blink while insisting that Rotimi is unwilling to change his 
attitude. Rotimi, who claimed to have been 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 Adebayor seems to be ready to fight on and ignore the plea 
tendered by Rotimi and his mum. However, Rotimi reveals that Lucia, the 
last child of the family is the only sibling Emmanuel Adebayor holds no 
grudge against.
Kinsmen to go spiritual over crisis
After the failed attempt to resolve the lingering crisis between 
Emmanuel Adebayor, the super rich son of Igbaye, Osun State and his 
siblings, the four-man delegation from Nigeria are leaving no stone 
unturned in their bid to create a peaceful situation between the two 
parties.
Sunday Sunsports has confirmed that the delegation and other members of 
the family in both Igbaye, where Adebayor’s father hailed from and 
Ekusa, his mother’s hometown, 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 stated that the family have met and consulted Ogun, 
the Yoruba god of iron 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.
Sunday Sunsports called the Monarch to seek his opinion about the 
reports presented to him by the delegation when they returned to Igbaye 
from Lome, Togo.
He backed the idea while noting that peace is paramount at this stage as
 he also hopes to invite some members of the family for another meeting.
“I have received their report and I must confess that they have done 
their best. However, we’re still in it and hopefully the matter would be
 solved amicably soon.”
The Monarch also revealed that they are likely to make a second trip to 
Ghana but the elders and close family members would be in the second 
delegation when they decide to visit Emmanuel Adebayor.
