Singer ToluwaniSings to be buried today

THE remains of gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, will be laid to rest in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday, November 9, weeks after his death.

The funeral arrangements, released on the singer’s official Instagram page, indicate that the lying-in-state will hold between 9am and 10am, followed by a burial service from 10am to 11am.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, No. 20, Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan. However, the announcement did not disclose the location of the interment.

Toluwanisings died in the early hours of October 14, 2026, according to an earlier announcement by his family.

His funeral comes after weeks of disagreement between his widow and his family, While his family insists he must be buried within the house he built before his demise, his wife insists he must be buried after the funeral.

However, the Oyo State Police Command intervened after receiving information about the dispute on October 28, with Commissioner of Police Olugbenga Abimbola facilitating efforts to resolve the disagreement.

The burial is now scheduled to hold today, bringing the weeks of uncertainty surrounding the singer’s final rites to a close.
