Adeola Omotoso, the missing daughter of Nollywood veteran Jumoke George, has stated that she was sold into prostitution in Mali but later escaped from the brothel after securing a job with a food vendor.
The 41-year-old revealed this a few days after she was rescued by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), following her mother’s report that she had gone missing.
Speaking in an interview with actress Biola Bayo on the Talk to B podcast, Adeola disclosed that she was trafficked to Mali for prostitution for N250,000 under the guise of seeking greener pastures by someone who offered to help her.
“I met someone who introduced me to Mali. She deceived me with a pharmacy in Mali.”
“I agreed without informing anyone. We travelled by road through Cotonou, Togo, Ghana, and other countries for four days.”
“I called the contact I was given when I got to Bamako in Mali. It was when I got to her house that she told me that she had bought me for N250,000 from my sister, and I would work to pay her 1.5 million CFA. She said I was there for prostitution,” she narrated.
