Nigerian in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM has facilitated the return of Jumoke, the daughter of the popular Nollywood actress, Jumoke George from Mali.

The 41-year old Adeola had disappeared from the country about four years ago.

She was later found in Mali following a viral interview of her mother lamenting the disappearance of her daughter and her ill health.

According to the mother, Adeola who lived with her grandmother in Ibadan was last seen about four year ago after travelling to Lagos.

AbdurRahman Balogun, the spokesperson of the commission, confirmed the development to HorizonTimes.

The report was also disclosed by the chairperson, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

According to her, the commission received Adeola from Mali, where she was trafficked.

She wrote, “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.”

Recall that the veteran actress had opened up in an emotional interview on how she started living in a church six years ago while battling illness and the heartbreak of a missing child.

Speaking in tears on the TalkToB show hosted by fellow actress Abiola Adebayo, Jumoke said she hid her predicament out of shame and fear of public ridicule.

The veteran actress explained that her health began to deteriorate earlier this year, which forced her to cancel scheduled acting jobs.

She said, “There are some things that are embarrassing to say, but at this point, I have no choice. I want to speak out. I am working, but it’s not like I get jobs every time.

“My first child, Adeola, has been missing. I’ve been looking for her for the past four years. Any small amount of money I got from work was spent looking for her.

“She was in Ibadan, where she was working and living with my mother. So my mother just called me one day to say that she hadn’t seen Deola, who said she was coming to meet me in Lagos. I said I haven’t seen her.”

She disclosed that Adeola, however, called one day to beg for forgiveness and informed her that she had migrated with some friends in search of a better life, but they had encountered something different.

Meanwhile, Dabiri commended Actress Bola Adebayo for breaking the story about the veteran actress’ daughter and actor Niyi Johnson.

“Just received her, with Biola Adebayo, who broke the story", Johnson confirmed.
