In what can be regarded as a happy reunion over the lost-but-found- Adeola, the 41-year old daughter of Actress Jumoke George, the Nigerians in Diaspora (NiDCOM), on Monday, reunited Adeola with her mother and family in Lagos
The development was sequel to the alarm raised by Jumoke George about not hearing from her daughter in four years during an interview on the Talk to B show hosted by Abiola Bayo.
Following the interview, the host, Biola, reached out to the Federal Government through NIDCOM while its Chairman, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, immediately got in touch with the Acting Nigerian High Commissioner in Mali, Ambassador Ugo Chime, who both facilitated her transportation back home.
It is instructive to note that Dabiri-Erewa was at hand in Lagos office of the Commission where the very excited Adeola, thanked the NiDCOM Chairman, the Acting Nigeria Ambassador in Mali, Amb. Ugo Chime, and popular actress, Abiola Bayo, who highlighted her mothers ordeal on her programme “ Talk with B” as well as Actor Niyi Johnson who was also in attendance.
The NiDCOM boss also welcomed Adeola, and hoped that others would learn from her story, a story of being deceived into a job that never was.
She warned others to resist any temptation of any supposed job offers in Libya, Mali as its all journey to slavery.
Speaking on her ordeal in Mail, Adeola said she was promised, through someone close to her , to get employed in a Pharmacy. Only to get there to be told she had been sold to a “ madam”,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.
She had been living with her grandmother in Ibadan and was last seen after informing the family she was travelling to Lagos.
Abiola Bayo, the host of the programme, Talk with B, expressed deep gratitude to the Federal Government for its speedy intervention.
