Willy scored in the 31st minute to give the hosts a one goal lead into the interval.
In the second half, Yameogo doubled Williamsville’s lead in the 77th minute of the encounter.
The result meant the seven-time Nigerian Professional Football League champions slipped to the third position in group C with six points from four games.
Williamsville Athletic Club, however, moved up to the summit of the table with seven points from the same number of games following their win.
In the other group fixture, CARRA from Congo Brazzaville defeated Djoliba of Mali 1-0.
Carra Brazzaville are now second with a superior goals difference than third placed Enyimba, while Djiloba of Mali are fourth in the standings with four points from four games.
