Nollywood Star Jumoke George Reunites With Daughter Missing for Four Years
Veteran Nollywood actress Jumoke George has been emotionally reunited with her daughter, Adeola, who had been missing for four years.
The emotional reunion comes after Jumoke publicly shared her pain during an interview with fellow actress Biola Adebayo on the Talk to B YouTube podcast, revealing that Adeola had gone missing after telling family members she was traveling from Ibadan to Lagos.
On Monday, May 19, 2025, the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, announced via X (formerly Twitter) that 41-year-old Adeola was found in Mali, where she had been trafficked. She has now safely returned to Nigeria.
