Nigerian actress Faithia Balogun revealed on Monday that her mother passed away on the eve of her birthday party, a loss she only learned about after the celebration.
The announcement came just hours after her 55th birthday party on Sunday, following her birthday on Thursday, February 5. Faithia expressed her deep grief, describing her mother as her cheerleader, prayer warrior, best friend, and confidante.
She wrote:
“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.”
Faithia asked fans and the public to keep her and her siblings in prayers during this difficult time. She also stated that burial arrangements will be shared later and emphasized that the family is keeping matters private for now.
“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,” she added.
Faithia Balogun’s heartfelt message has drawn condolences and support from fans across social media.
