Adeola Omotosho, daughter of Nollywood veteran Jumoke George, has received a deep freezer and monetary support from the JAAL Foundation as part of her reintegration following her rescue from human traffickers in Mali.
The heartwarming moment was shared by actress Biola Bayo on Instagram, featuring a video of Adeola being presented with the gifts. Bayo had previously played a significant role in bringing attention to Adeola’s plight.
Speaking during the presentation in Lagos, Dr. Tolu Aderemi, head of the JAAL Foundation, explained that the donation reflects the organization’s commitment to promoting responsible governance and providing assistance to vulnerable individuals.
“Our core objective is to advocate for good governance, and Adeola is a good example,” Dr. Aderemi said, referring to the swift action taken by government authorities to bring her home safely.
He specifically acknowledged the role of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), led by Hon. Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, in coordinating her return. He also credited Dr. Abiola Adebayo, host of Talk To B, for raising public awareness, and Miss Oyiza Yakubu, who assisted in locating Adeola abroad.
Dr. Aderemi praised the collaborative effort, saying, “I commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Hon. Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, and NIDCOM for evolving into a strong institution that will continue to bring succour to Nigerians at home and abroad.”
As Adeola begins a new chapter, Aderemi encouraged her to settle into her life back in Nigeria. He also used the occasion to address young Nigerians, warning against the dangers of illegal migration and human trafficking.
“Youths must embrace the values of hard work and active engagement within the country to avoid falling victim to trafficking,” he advised.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Adeola thanked those who came to her aid. “I appreciate Hon. Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa and Dr. Aderemi for the kind gestures,” she said, expressing hope for her future.
The support from JAAL Foundation marks a positive step in Adeola’s journey to rebuild her life, serving as an example of the power of community and institutional intervention in protecting citizens.
