Adeola, the daughter of veteran Nollywood actress Jumoke George, has safely returned to Nigeria from Mali after being missing for four years.
This development was confirmed on Monday by Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).
According to her, Adeola was rescued and repatriated after being trafficked to Mali.
Dabiri-Erewa announced the news on social media, stating:
“Breaking! Adeola, daughter of popular actress Jumoke George, who cried out that she had not heard from her daughter in four years, is back home from Mali, where she was trafficked.”
Jumoke George had previously opened up in an emotional interview on TalkToB, a show hosted by actress Biola Adebayo.
Through tears, she shared how she had lived in a church for the past six years while struggling with illness and the heartbreak of not knowing her daughter’s whereabouts.
She revealed that Adeola was last seen in Ibadan, where she lived with her grandmother.
One day, her mother called to say Adeola had left for Lagos but never arrived. Years later, Adeola reached out, asking for forgiveness and explaining that she had migrated with friends in search of better opportunities but ended up in a troubling situation.
Actress Biola Adebayo and actor Niyi Johnson were acknowledged by Dabiri-Erewa for their roles in bringing attention to Adeola’s disappearance. “Just received her, with Biola Adebayo, who broke the story, and Niyi Johnson,” she wrote.
