Nollywood actress Faithia Williams and her siblings have finally laid their beloved mother to rest following her passing last month.
Recall that on Friday, family members, friends, and colleagues gathered for a wake-keep service held in honour of the deceased.
The atmosphere was filled with emotion as loved ones came together to celebrate her life and offer support to the grieving family.
In a touching video from the wake-keep that has since surfaced online, the Yoruba movie star was seen breaking down in tears as she mourned her late mother. Her sons stood by her side, consoling and comforting her during the emotional moment.
The burial ceremony, which took place today, was equally heartfelt. In photos making rounds on social media, Faithia Williams was seen standing alongside her siblings around their mother’s coffin as they paid their final respects. The actress appeared visibly emotional as the family bid a final goodbye to the woman who meant so much to them.

Sharing her grief at the time, the actress admitted that the reality of her mother’s death had not fully sunk in, describing her as her cheerleader, prayer warrior, best friend, and gist partner.
Following the sad news, fellow actress Regina Chukwu also shared a touching video capturing the moment Faithia Williams received the devastating call about her mother’s passing. In the clip, the actress could be seen holding her phone and breaking down in tears, while colleagues gathered around her to offer comfort and support.
The burial ceremony has drawn an outpouring of condolences from fans, friends, and members of the entertainment industry, many of whom have taken to social media to sympathize with the actress and pray for strength for her and her family during this difficult time.
