Adeola Omotoso suffered terrible treatment after criminals tricked her into traveling to Mali. The 41-year-old daughter of actress Jumoke George believed she would work at a pharmacy. Someone promised her better opportunities and a good job across the border. She agreed to leave Nigeria without telling family members about the trip. The journey took four days through Cotonou, Togo, Ghana, and other West African countries.
Criminals sold Adeola for 250,000 naira after she arrived at Bamako. The buyers forced her to work as a prostitute to pay back 1.5 million CFA francs. She discovered the truth about her situation when she reached the contact person's house. The woman explained that Adeola belonged to her and must earn money through prostitution. Escape seemed impossible during the early days of captivity.
Adeola broke free after finding work with a local food vendor who helped her. Her mother, Jumoke George, had reported her missing four years before the escape happened. The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission recently rescued Adeola from Mali. She shared her painful story during an interview with Biola Bayo. The Talk to B podcast featured her account of survival and freedom.
