Veteran Nollywood actress, Faithia Balogun, now known as Faithia Williams, has lost her beloved mother to the cold hands of death.
Sadly, her mother died on the eve of her 55th birthday party, Sunday February 8th, 2026.
Faithia announced the sad news via her Instagram page on Sunday, revealing that the information about her mother’s death was intentionally withheld from her until after the planned party.
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.”
