Adeola Omotoso, the daughter of Nollywood actress Jumoke George, shares her untold story on “Talk Show With Biola” and reveals how she was sold for prostitution in Mali
Excerpt:
‘‘I met someone who introduced travelling to Mali to me. She said she knew someone who owned a pharmacy and asked if I could travel there to handle the business.
‘‘I agreed but didn’t inform anyone at home. We travelled by road for four days through Cotonou, Togo, Ghana, and other countries.
‘‘When I got to Bamako in Mali, I called the contact I was given. When I got to the person’s house, she said she was my madam and that she bought me from my sister. She said I’ll work to pay her 1.5 million CFA francs.
‘‘I was very confused and tried to confirm if I was at the right address. She said I was there for prostitution.
‘‘I told her I can’t do it and would rather die. She threatened me, and I told her she was free to do whatever she wanted.
‘‘We later went to where we would stay. When we got there, I knew I wouldn’t be able to survive.
‘‘I told her I can’t work as a prostitute, but I can do other jobs to pay her. She took my phone and travel documents.
‘‘But I met a man there and explained my ordeal to him. He helped me in finding a job with a food seller in another location.
‘‘While working as a food seller there, I heard stories and saw Nigerians who died because of prostitution.
‘‘I wanted to raise some money so I could come back home, and I didn’t want to return home empty. I thought about calling my mum and kids, but I couldn’t call because I felt ashamed of myself.
‘‘I left home four years ago and have nothing to show for it. I was suffering but didn’t know what to do. I even told my roommate to not post me on social media if I die.
‘‘I don’t know how good my mum is before God that made him save me from all the evil that was about to befall me in Mali.’’
