Veteran Yoruba actress Jumoke George has been reunited with her daughter, Adeola, who was found in Mali after being missing for four years. Adeola, 41, disappeared after telling her family she was traveling from Ibadan to Lagos. According to Jumoke, she later reached out, seeking forgiveness and revealing she had traveled abroad with friends for better opportunities.
Jumoke had earlier spoken about her daughter’s disappearance during an emotional interview on the “Talk to B” show hosted by actress Biola Bayo. The actress, who has been battling severe health and financial difficulties, revealed that any income she earned went into the search for her daughter. She also shared that she had been unable to work consistently due to illness, requiring medical tests costing about N400,000.
During the interview, Jumoke opened up about her struggles, including refunding money for jobs she couldn’t complete and being brought back from sets due to her worsening health. She expressed her shame in going public with her condition but said she could no longer remain silent. Her revelation moved many viewers and drew public sympathy.
Biola Bayo later updated fans, confirming she had a video call with Adeola, who had not yet spoken directly to her mother but was confirmed alive. Jumoke, who is currently receiving treatment at a state hospital in Lagos, was greatly relieved by the news. Support has poured in from fans and colleagues, as Jumoke awaits further medical evaluation and hopes for recovery and continued healing.
