The remains of Nigerian gospel singer, Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, will be laid to rest on Monday in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The funeral arrangements, announced on the late singer’s official Instagram page, indicated that the lying-in-state would 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 family did not disclose the location of the singer’s interment.
Toluwanisings died on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping at his residence in Ibadan.
His death came hours after he attended a worship programme in the city.
Following his death, disagreements emerged between his widow and family members over his burial arrangements.
While his father reportedly wanted him buried at the house he built or beside his late mother in Osun State, his widow was initially said to have opposed the proposed arrangements.
The disagreement generated reactions on social media, prompting the Oyo State Police Command to intervene.
On November 3, the singer’s widow, father and some of his associates signed a peace undertaking before the state Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Abimbola.
The parties agreed to stop public exchanges, interviews and social media publications concerning the disagreement.
The burial arrangements now indicate that the singer will be laid to rest in Ibadan, weeks after his death.
