Taraba Pageant Community Mourns as Former Queen Comfort Williams Dies

Former Miss Taraba, Comfort Williams, has died, with tributes pouring in following the announcement of her death by Prime Planet Event Managers, organisers of the Mr and Miss Taraba beauty pageant.

The organisation announced her death in a condolence statement issued on Monday, November 2, 2026, describing her as a beloved member of its team whose contributions would remain unforgettable.

Williams, who was crowned the 10th Miss Taraba in 2023, was serving as the Assistant Managing Director of Prime Planet Event Managers before her death.

In its condolence message, the organisation expressed deep sadness over the loss, recalling her contributions to its activities and the pageantry industry.

“This heartbreaking loss has left us deeply devastated. She was not just a member of our organisation but an important part of the Prime Planet family whose presence, contributions, and memories will forever remain in our hearts,” the statement read.

The message was shared on Facebook by the organisation’s Chief Executive Officer, Disebe Donga.

Williams was appointed Assistant Managing Director in January 2026 when Prime Planet announced a new seven-member management team known as Team 7.

The management team also included Tabitha Adda as Managing Director and Leah Lot Mangbon as Head of Contestants.

Beyond her involvement in beauty pageants, Williams was recognised for her humanitarian activities, including an educational initiative through which she reportedly printed and distributed books to students in support of Taraba State’s free education policy.

Prime Planet described her death as a painful loss to the organisation and extended its condolences to her family, friends, colleagues and loved ones.

The organisation further prayed for the peaceful repose of her soul, assuring that her contributions would remain part of its history.

Although some reports have attributed her death to a brief illness, Prime Planet did not disclose the circumstances surrounding her passing, and the cause of death has not been independently confirmed.

Her death has generated reactions within Taraba’s entertainment and pageantry community, with colleagues and admirers remembering her contributions and humanitarian activities.
