Emmanuel Adebayor’s Brother, Rotimi Adebayor Attempts Suicide After Being Publicly Shamed By His Brother

Rotimi Adebayor, the younger brother of Emmanuel
Adebayor, who was accused of being a thief by his
brother; apparently attempted suicide in Togo
yesterday.
A report from website GhanaSportsOnline.com, claims
Rotimi stabbed himself in the stomach with a knife, in
the attempt to end his life. The action is believed to
be linked to the shame brought by his brother due to
his revelations of some internal family strife.
Rotimi has often been at the end of Adebayor’s jabs;
he claimed he stole from his teammates when he got
him a team to play for in France, and also claimed
that he once threatened him with a knife for money.
According to GhanaSportsOnline:
“Rotimi Adebayor, biological brother of Tottenham
Hotspurs striker Emmanuel Adebayor, has pierced
himself with a sharp knife in an attempt to end his life
and is now battling for his life at the CHU Sylvanus
Olympio Hospital in Lome, Togo,
Ghanasportsonline.com can exclusively reveal.
Rotimi, according to family sources has pondered
committing suicide after his elder brother, Sheyi
Adebayor accused him of stealing 21 phones from a
football academy in France, which Adebayor says he
paid for.
“He has pierced himself and blood was gushing out
profusely…it took the timely intervention of some
people close to save him otherwise he would have
been gone too”, a family source told
Ghanasportsonline.com.
“He has always been complaining about the shame
his brother caused him, now people keep on accusing
of being a thief, his own brother has ridiculed him
globally and he feels he must end it all because life is
not worth it but now he’s in the hospital”,
“The doctors are working on him and we hope he
survives but it looks terrible for the family
now..especially the mum”.
