Adeola, the daughter of popular Nollywood actress Jumoke George, has returned to Nigeria from Mali after four years.
This was disclosed by the chairperson, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on Monday.
According to her, the commission received Adeola from Mali, where she was trafficked.
She wrote, “Breaking! Adeola, daughter of popular actress Jumoke George, who cried out that she had not heard from her daughter in four years, is back home from Mali, where she was trafficked.”
Recall that the veteran actress had opened up in an emotional interview on how she started living in a church six years ago while battling illness and the heartbreak of a missing child.
Speaking in tears on the TalkToB show hosted by fellow actress Abiola Adebayo, Jumoke said she hid her predicament out of shame and fear of public ridicule.
The veteran actress explained that her health began to deteriorate earlier this year, which forced her to cancel scheduled acting jobs.
She said, “There are some things that are embarrassing to say, but at this point, I have no choice. I want to speak out. I am working, but it’s not like I get jobs every time.
“My first child, Adeola, has been missing. I’ve been looking for her for the past four years. Any small amount of money I got from work was spent looking for her.
“She was in Ibadan, where she was working and living with my mother. So my mother just called me one day to say that she hadn’t seen Deola, who said she was coming to meet me in Lagos. I said I haven’t seen her.”
She disclosed that Adeola, however, called one day to beg for forgiveness and informed her that she had migrated with some friends in search of a better life, but they had encountered something different.
Meanwhile, Dabiri commended Actress Bola Adebayo for breaking the story about the veteran actress’ daughter and actor Niyi Johnson.
“Just received her, with Biola Adebayo, who broke the story, and Niyi Johnson. Details later!”
Veteran Nollywood actor, dramatist, filmmaker, and scholar, Dr Kola Oyewo, has died at the age of 80.
Announcing his passing on Instagram on Friday, actor Kunle Afod wrote: “Kola Oyewo has taken his final bow.
“His remarkable talent, timeless performances, and immense contributions to the Nigerian theatre and film industry will never be forgotten.
His legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. “Rest well, sir. Your work lives on. “🕊️ It’s a wrap.”
The veteran actor, born on March 27, 1946, in Oba-Ile, Osun State, Oyewo began his acting career in 1964 with the Oyin Adejobi Theatre Group.
He later became one of the most recognised figures in Yoruba theatre and Nigerian film.
He was widely known for his portrayal of Odewale in Ola Rotimi’s play, “The Gods Are Not to Blame,” a role that earned him recognition across the African theatre scene.
During a career that spanned more than six decades, Oyewo featured in several productions, including “Saworoide,” “Sango,” “Koseegbe,” “Super Story” and many Yoruba-language films that contributed to the growth of Nigeria’s movie industry.
Beyond acting, Oyewo was also an academic.
He earned a doctorate in Drama from the University of Ibadan and taught at Obafemi Awolowo University, Redeemer’s University and Elizade University.
Through his teaching and mentorship, he helped train and guide generations of actors, playwrights and scholars, leaving a lasting impact on Nigeria’s theatre, film and academic communities.
Ariana Grande has put the White House on blast for using her song “Bye” in a social media post promoting US immigration arrests, describing the video as “barbaric”.
The White House released the TikTok video on Tuesday, featuring US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting and handcuffing people.
The video used Grande’s song “Bye” as background audio and was captioned: “Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”
On Thursday, Grande responded in the post’s comment section. “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. F*** ICE,” she wrote, according to Variety.
As of Friday morning, her comment was no longer visible on the post.
A source close to Grande confirmed to Reuters that her team was exploring how to remove the song from the video.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement: “We’ll say this one last time: what’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.”

Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has drawn attention to the abduction of school children and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State during his performance at the FIFA World Cup Countdown Concert in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
