Emmanuel Adebayor’s mother, Alice, and his younger brother, Rotimi, have made moves to mend fences with the Tottenham Hotspur striker.

It would be recalled that the Nigerian-born Togolese international took on the social media of late to expose the rancour he had with his immediate family members.

The delegation from Nigeria, which is made up of family and friends, met with Emmanuel and his siblings in Didjole and Avedji in Lome, Togo, making moves on how to settle the rift among the family members

A member of that delegation, Emmanuel Folorunsho, told Sunday Sunsports in a phone chat, that Alice was remorseful and even prayed for her son. He, however, confirmed that the football star was yet to accept their plea.

Folorunsho said, “We met Alice at the market in Koviakope, Togo 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.”

Rotimi, who attempted to commit suicide 10 days ago, was at the meeting held in Emmanuel’s house in Didjole and told Sunday Sunsports over the phone that “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.

“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, in a long revelation through his facebook account, wrote about Rotimi's prodigal attitude and extravagance which he had been tolerating for many years. Adebayor also complained of his mother's meddlesomeness in his private life and how she shielded his siblings even when they were wrong.

Adebayor was already being seen in bad light before he let go the bombshell which generated a wave of controversies across the sporting globe.
