Late Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonle Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, is reportedly set to be laid to rest in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, today, November 9, 2026.
His burial comes weeks after his sudden death on October 14, 2026, which left family members, friends, colleagues and fans mourning the gospel minister.
Reports surrounding his death indicated that the singer reportedly slumped at his residence in Ibadan. His personal assistant later raised concerns about attempts to secure emergency medical attention for him, although some of the claims surrounding the circumstances of his death have not been independently established.
Following his passing, disagreements reportedly emerged between his wife, Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola, and his father, Muniru Olayemi, over where his remains should be buried.
While his father reportedly preferred that the singer be buried at the house he built or beside his late mother in Osun State, his wife was said to have opposed burying him inside their residence.
The disagreement attracted public attention and generated heated exchanges among family members and associates, raising concerns about the possibility of further tension.
However, the Oyo State Police Command intervened in the matter, inviting the parties to its headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, on November 3, where the singer’s wife, father, friends and associates signed a peace undertaking.
The parties agreed to maintain peace, avoid public arguments and stop making statements or publications capable of escalating the disagreement surrounding the singer’s death and burial.
Toluwanisings’ death has continued to attract attention within the gospel music community, with many remembering him for his ministry and contributions through gospel music.
The reported burial date of November 9 has not been independently confirmed by an official family announcement in the sources reviewed.
