Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has announced the return of Adeola, daughter of actress Jumoke George from Mali.
Adeola, whose whereabouts has been unknown to the family for over four years, was later found in Mali where she is said to be doing menial jobs.
The mother lamented her disappearance during an interview on the Talk to B show hosted by actress Abiola Bayo.
She stated that Adeola had been living with her grandmother in Ibadan and was last seen after informing the family she was travelling to Lagos.
The host reached out to the Federal Government through NIDCOM whose Chairperson immediately got in touch with the Ag Nigerian High Commissioner, Amb Ugo Chime, for her return home.
NIDCOM Chairman/CEO, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, was at hand in Lagos office of the Commission where the very excited Adeola, thanked the commission and Abiola Bayo, who highlighted her mother’s ordeal on her programme “ Talk with B” as well as Actor Niyi Johnson who was also in attendance.
Dabiri-Erewa welcomed Adeola and hoped that others would learn from how she was deceived into a job that never was.
She warned others to resist any temptation of any supposed job offers in Libya, Mali as it’s all journey to slavery.
Adeola said she was promised, through someone close , to get employed in a pharmacy only to be told she had been sold to a “ madam” on arrival, a move she vehemently resisted.
Adeola said she did not get in touch with her family out of shame of unfulfilled dreams and expressed happiness to be back.
