Jumoke George’s daughter, Adeola, has finally returned to Nigeria. This comes after being trafficked to Mali and separated from her family for four years.
The news of her return comes weeks after Jumoke George went public with her heartbreak, revealing in a tearful interview that she hadn’t seen or heard from her daughter in years.
That emotional plea touched hearts across the nation and spurred a collective outcry, and now, through the persistent efforts of concerned Nigerians, the impossible has become a reality.
Jumoke George’s daughter, Adeola, was received back in Nigeria by actress and producer Biola Adebayo, who had been instrumental in bringing public attention to the story, as well as fellow actor Niyi Johnson.
