Veteran Nigerian actress Jumoke George’s daughter, Adeola, who was trafficked to Mali four years ago has finally returned home.
Earlier, the actress emotionally revealed her daughter’s disappearance during an interview on Biola Adebayo’s YouTube podcast, Talk to B.
Adeola was said to be living with her grandmother in Ibadan before she left for Mali under unclear circumstances.
After her plea, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, along with actress Biola Bayo stepped in to help and ensure Adeola’s safe return.
