Former Miss Taraba, Comfort Williams, has died, the management of Prime Planet Event Managers has announced.

The organisation, which organises the Mr and Miss Taraba pageant, disclosed her death in a condolence statement published on Monday, describing her as a former beauty queen and its Assistant Managing Director.

“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.

In the announcement, the organisation named Tabitha Adda as Managing Director, Williams as Assistant Managing Director and Leah Lot Mangbon as Head of Contestants.
