Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has shared a hopeful and encouraging update on the ongoing search for veteran actress Jumoke George’s daughter, Adeola, who had been declared missing for over four years, sparking widespread concern among fans and the entertainment community.
The update follows an emotional and revealing interview where Jumoke George opened up about her heartbreak during a candid conversation with Biola Bayo. In the interview, she disclosed that her 41-year-old daughter, Adeola, had gone missing without any contact with family or friends, leaving her family desperate for answers and hoping for her safe return.
In a promising development shared on Wednesday, Biola Bayo took to her Instagram page to announce that Adeola has finally been located in Mali. Though she has yet to make direct contact with her mother, official reports confirm that Adeola is alive and is currently receiving medical care in a hospital there.
Biola wrote, “UPDATE! Adeola has been spotted in Mali. Though she hasn’t spoken with her mom yet, please tell her to call her. She’s currently in the hospital, but she will be happy to speak with her at least. I’ve tried calling her, but she has not been picking up anyone’s calls, and her mom is really worried,” conveying both relief and continued concern for Adeola’s wellbeing.
Further details reveal that the search and verification were carried out by the Child Rights Campaign (CRC), who successfully traced Adeola’s location to Mali. The organization shared that Adeola left Nigeria in search of better opportunities and, despite her hospitalization, she remains healthy and is actively pursuing her dreams while abroad.
In a heartfelt voice call shared in another Instagram post, Adeola confirmed to Biola that she lost her phone and became stranded in Mali due to a violent conflict involving the military and Boko Haram terrorists, which tragically resulted in many casualties. She explained that she has been unable to return home because she currently lacks travel documents or the necessary means to leave the country.
Biola captioned the voice call with, “I finally got to speak with Adeola and this is what she said. She hasn’t called her mom but mom is happy she’s alive. @jumoke_george is currently at a state hospital in Lagos, hopefully she’ll be discharged or admitted after all her medical tests and reports, not sure yet.”
She also expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you to everyone for the support….The love has been massive. I’m indeed grateful to you all🙏🙏🙏.” This message highlights the tremendous outpouring of support from fans, friends, and the wider community during this difficult time.
