Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has given an update on veteran actress Jumoke George’s missing daughter.
Kemi Filani reported that Jumoke, in an interview with Biola, said her 41-year-old daughter, Adeola, has been missing for four years.
Giving an update on Wednesday via her Instagram page, Biola said Adeola has been spotted in Mali, but she has yet to speak to her mother. Bayo said Adeola hasn’t been picking up her calls, which has left them worried.
CRC, who embarked on the investigation for Jumoke’s missing daughter, said they contacted Mali in search of Deola and spoke with her. CRC confirmed that Adeola left Nigeria to search for greener pastures and is alive, healthy, and working in search of her dreams.
“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”.
In an emotional interview with Biola Bayo, Jumoke revealed that she has been homeless for 5 to 6 years and has been living in her church. The movie star further opened up on her deteriorating health as she revealed that she has been in and out of the hospital since January 2nd, and now she is in debt. To make it worse, she has to undergo a brain and heart test and doesn’t have the money.
Reacting to the devastating news, Biola revealed that she couldn’t hold the pain, stating that the veteran desperately needs help.
A critic lashed out at Biodun, which reposted the video of a crying Jumoke and questioned why they were bringing her to the public. The critic noted that Biodun is in the US and has a rich husband who can easily offer assurance to Jumoke.
Her colleague, Biodun Okeowo, had slammed a troll who faulted them for publicising the veteran’s condition. She explained to the troll that going public makes it faster to get urgent help and admonished the troll to focus on his life.
Late last year, Jumoke had recounted how she was rejected by her parents. She revealed that her decision to stay with her father rather than her mother after their divorce led her mother to abandon her, and her father’s new wife made her relationship with her father strained.
