Gospel Singer Toluwanisings Laid to Rest in Ibadan
Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, has been laid to rest at his residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The burial followed a funeral service held at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, Alakia, Ibadan, before his remains were taken to his residence for a private interment attended by family members.
His final burial came after weeks of disagreement between his widow, Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola, and his paternal relatives over where he should be buried. The disagreement attracted public attention and eventually led to the intervention of the Oyo State Police Command.
The parties later signed a peace undertaking on November 3, paving the way for the burial arrangements to proceed.
Toluwanisings, who was known for his energetic worship ministrations and gospel songs, including A Very Big God, died on October 14, 2026.
May his soul rest in peace.
