A close friend of the late Victor Onie Williams, Trevor Jex King has penned a deeply emotional tribute following the burial of Onie’s mother, Ebiduni Onie Williams, popularly known as Mummy Williams, describing her as a woman of rare kindness whose life was defined by love, sacrifice and generosity.

In the tribute, King recalled Mummy Williams as someone who “emptied herself to fill those around her,” noting that her passing has reopened painful memories surrounding the unresolved death of her son, Victor, more than a year after his life was cut short under circumstances that remain unclear.

Victor Onie Williams died on December 5, 2024, allegedly at the residence of a popular comedian known as “Richie Obama.” According to the tribute, no clear or satisfactory explanation has been provided by investigators regarding what transpired that night, leaving family and friends grappling with unanswered questions and lingering pain.

King lamented what was described as a lack of seriousness with which the case was handled, arguing that Victor was subtly blamed for being in the home of someone he considered a brother, while the loss of his life appeared to fade into the background.

“What hurt most,” the friend wrote, “was watching the person in whose house Victor died being publicly elevated, hosting and chairing state functions, moving freely among politicians, and appearing prominently on social media—while Victor’s case remained unresolved.”

He expressed concern over what it described as selective justice, questioning why other cases involving deaths in private residences have resulted in immediate scrutiny, while Onie’s case appeared to stall. Particular concern was raised that the homeowner was reportedly allowed to travel out of the country while investigations were still ongoing.

According to King, the emotional weight of these unanswered questions took a heavy toll on Mummy Williams, who repeatedly sought closure over what happened to her son. Friends say her grief was compounded by the absence of accountability, despite their efforts to comfort and support her.

“All she wanted was the truth,” the tribute read. “She wanted to know what really happened in that house. It was his house, and he knew who he left it open for.”

The friend described Mummy Williams as a source of strength even in her sorrow—someone who uplifted others while carrying her own pain, often ending conversations with the words, “I love you.”

Victor Onie Williams was remembered as a committed patriot who devoted much of his time to contributing to national development. His friend noted that it was especially painful that despite these sacrifices, his death remains clouded by uncertainty.

As mother and son are now laid to rest, the tribute ends with a sombre reflection: that while their suffering has come to an end, the strange circumstances surrounding Victor Onie Williams’ death and the lack of closure from investigators remain a painful and unresolved chapter for those he left behind.

In tribute to Onie, some of his close friends have also launched a Foundation in his name, hoping to continue his legacy.
