Ex-Gabon Striker, Shiva N’Zigou has claimed his mother was killed in a “spiritual sacrifice” in order to further his football career.
And in an amazing confession at a church in his homeland, the former Gabon international also claims he lied about his age and had sexual relations with his aunt and his sister.

According to N’Zigou, his father murdered his mother in a ritual killing so that his son could keep all the money he earned from football to himself.
N’Zigou also says his parents doctored his passport at the beginning of his career to make him five years younger. Until now it was believed he was 34, but it seems he is really closer to 39.
Africa Cup of Nations
In the year 2000, N’Zigou became the youngest player to score at the African Cup of Nations when he netted for Gabon in a 3-1 defeat to South Africa at the age of 16 years and 93 days.
However, this recent revelation means he would actually have been 21 at the time.
