Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Faithia Williams and her family have been thrown into mourning shortly after she hosted a star-studded party to mark her 55th birthday.
In the early hours of Monday, February 9, Faithia, via her official social media page, announced the death of her beloved mother.
She revealed that her mother died on the eve of her birthday, but the news was kept hidden from her by family members.
The actress, who said that the reality of her mother’s death was yet to dawn on her, stated that the burial announcement would be made public later.
She wrote:
“Dear friends, it was my 55th birthday on Thursday, February 5. However, I chose to have a party yesterday, Sunday. Unbeknownst to me, my beloved mother died on the eve of my party and the news was cruelly kept away from me.
The reality of her passing has not totally dawned on me because she was my cheerleader, prayer warrior, best friend, and gist partner wrapped in the invaluable gift of a mother. Whilst I have taken solace in Allah (SWT), the Williams’ family has decided to keep things very private for now.
Your love and prayers will mean a lot to me and my siblings this period. Burial details will be announced later. Thank you,”
