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 to. Just received her, with Biola Adebayo who broke the story, and Niyi Johnson. Details later!\u201d Dabiri-Erewa wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The news comes shortly after a heartbreaking video surfaced online, showing Jumoke George in tears as she recounted years of personal tragedy showing her homelessness, poor health, crushing debt and the mysterious disappearance of her child.<\/p>\n<p>The video, shared by actress Abiola Ayomide Adebayo, showed the once-celebrated actress pleading for prayers and public support.<\/p>\n<p>Amid tears, she said, \u201cDear Nigerians, please pray for me. I have never ruined anyone\u2019s life. I am tired, I can no longer bear it. I don\u2019t have a home, I don\u2019t have anything, and a child of mine is missing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jumoke revealed that her first child, Adeola, who turned 41 in May, had been missing for over four years. She also shared her ongoing battle with serious health issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been sick since January 2nd. I\u2019ve done several tests and now need brain and heart scans. It costs N400,000, and I don\u2019t know where to get the money,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n<p>She further disclosed that she has been living in a church for over five years, relying entirely on the church for shelter and food.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true. I don\u2019t have a house. I\u2019ve been living in the church for five to six years. Most times, I\u2019m fed by the church,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Jumoke didn\u2019t shy away from speaking on her financial struggles either. She invited the public to verify her claims of indebtedness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t sleep. I\u2019m always in pain. I\u2019m in debt. You can go through my phone and see the transactions. You\u2019ll see I have a lot of debts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
