COVID-19: I didn’t bring virus to my country; why donate to them, Adebayo queries

Former Premier League striker, Emmanuel Adebayor has stated that he will not be donating money to his home country Togo to help in the fight against coronavirus.

Adebayor stated this in reaction to questions on why he hasn't made any donation to the fight against coronavirus like fellow African footballers, Samuel Eto'o and Didier Drogba.

The 36-year old who plays for Paraguayan side Olimpia opened up while speaking in a Facebook live video.

“I always do things according to the wishes of my heart and not according to the words of others.

I'm sorry that people compare me to Samuel Eto'o and Didier Drogba by asking me why I don't have a foundation or why I don't donate, as if I was the one who brought the coronavirus to Togo...

“I am neither the one nor the other, I am me, Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor. A word of advice for the guys regarding donations, I will not do that. Everything is clear and very simple. Thank you and good day.”
