Nollywood veteran actress Jumoke George has found reason to smile again after years of pain and uncertainty. Her daughter, Deola, who had been missing for four years, has finally been found alive and safe in Mali.
The emotional breakthrough was shared by actress Biola Bayo, who revealed that Deola’s whereabouts were uncovered through a joint effort involving members of the Celestial Church of Christ and some devoted fans.
According to the report, Deola left Nigeria years ago in search of better opportunities but lost contact with her family along the way.
Despite facing unexpected conditions abroad, she is currently doing well in Mali and working. Though her living and working environment hasn’t met her initial expectations, she is said to be “managing fine.”
Those who located her also reached out to Jumoke George to update her on her daughter’s welfare and urged her to remain strong and not let the emotional stress affect her health. Deola, they said, has been encouraged to reconnect with her mother.
Jumoke had earlier gone public with her ordeal, revealing she had been left to care for her other children while battling health issues, unsure of her daughter’s fate.
This latest development, therefore, brings hope and relief not only to her but also to fans who had followed her story closely.
Reactions to the news flooded social media, with many praising Biola Bayo for her involvement and praying for Jumoke George’s continued strength.
One user, @bheeluxe_n_style, wrote, “Aunty B. I love to say a prayer for you, the lord will bless you with everything your heart ever wish for.”
Another, @bea_utypalacemakeover, commented, “Sis Biola. You shall never mourn over your child, children and your husband, what so ever you lay your hands on shall prosper… You’re blessed in Jesus name.”
While many were thankful, others criticized Deola for staying silent for so long. @ruthie_nkem noted, “At least she could have found a way to reach out to her mother instead of making her go through all these.”
Similarly, @kenzyherbals said, “The Deola didn’t do well at all. How can you not speak to your mother for four years or even look back at your kids knowing your mother’s hardship. Haba! It’s impossible she doesn’t have a phone for four years or call with someone’s phone.”
Another fan, @zizipearl, simply expressed gratitude, writing, “Thank you lord and sister B God bless you greatly.”
The news has been a source of celebration and reflection, as fans continue to pray for full reconciliation and healing between the mother and daughter.
As Jumoke George begins the journey of rebuilding this lost connection, many are hoping it brings her peace after years of worry.
