Nigerian gospel singer, Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, has been laid to rest in Ibadan, Oyo State, following weeks of disagreement among family members over his burial arrangements.

The singer was buried on Monday, November 9, at his residence in Ibadan, bringing an end to the dispute between his widow, Elizabeth Damilola Olayemi, and his father, Muniru Olayemi.

The disagreement had generated widespread reactions on social media, with his father reportedly favouring burial in Ikirun, Osun State, while his widow and associates had different preferences.

The situation attracted the intervention of the Oyo State Police Command to prevent a possible breakdown of peace between the parties.

On November 3, the singer’s widow, father, friends and associates signed a peace undertaking before the Commissioner of Police, pledging to end public exchanges and comments on social media over the matter.

The funeral activities were held at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, Alakia, Ibadan, with the lying-in-state and burial service scheduled between nine and eleven o’clock in the morning.

Toluwanisings died on October 14, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of gospel music and energetic worship ministrations that endeared him to many followers.

His burial brings to a close the public disagreement over his final resting place, which had drawn considerable attention from fans and gospel music enthusiasts.
