In 2020, Gogoligo had told the gendarmerie that Emmanuel Adebayor sent bandits to his kit to kill him. According to our information, the witness cited by the comedian did not confirm the facts but rather pressed the accuser to have manipulated him in “A stunt to tarnish the image of the Togolese football international”.
During their incarceration, the two accused showed signs of poor health. Gogoligo was evacuated on Sunday at the Gendarmerie Medico-Social Center after a crisis. For his part, Papson suffers from bipolar disorder.
