Tottenham forward, Emmanuel Adebayor has debunked claims made by his sister, Maggie that he threw his mum out of his house in Africa after suspecting her to be a witch.

Reacting to the accusations on the same radio station, the 2007 BBC African Footballer Of The Year stated that he never threw his mom out of his house that she left on her own accord. He also implored the family to stop practicing Juju (witchcraft) on him.
‘I never sacked my mum from the house. She decided to leave the house. How am I going to be in touch with my mum if my mum is the one telling everyone that my work will not go forward, so I will just be on my side and do my thing. They should stop talking, they should stop doing Juju on me, they should leave me alone.

Blessing Okagbare's honeymoon disrupted as Embassy denies hubby visa
Nigeria’s Queen of the tracks, Blessing Okagbare is unhappy at the moment and the reason isn’t far-fetched. The US embassy in Abuja has denied her hubby Jude Igho Otegheri visa to travel to Los Angeles, USA with her for their honeymoon.
A very dejected Blessing told Vanguard,
“I feel so bad that America Embassy would turn down the visa request by my husband to travel with me to Los Angeles. I have resumed training for the season and I have to go back to my base with my husband so that I can concentrate.
“I have sent copies of my documents, including my Resident Permit in Los Angeles to them so as to facilitate my husband’s traveling with me to the States, but they refused. Help me appeal to them to grant him visa because it won’t be easy for me to shuttle between Nigeria and the States every time.
“I have to concentrate on my training and the only way to do so is to have my husband with me in the States. I have been so sad since my husband returned from Abuja with this bad news. They have to do something about it.”
