Share

The remains of gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, are scheduled to be laid to rest today, Monday, November 9, 2026, in Ibadan, Oyo State, weeks after his death.

Funeral arrangements released on the singer’s official Instagram page show that the lying-in-state will take place between 9am and 10am, while the burial service is scheduled for 10am to 11am.

The ceremony will hold at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, located at No. 20, Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan. However, the family has yet to disclose the location of the actual interment.

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

His burial arrangements follow weeks of disagreement between his widow and his family over where he should be laid to rest. While his family reportedly insisted that he should be buried within the premises of the house he built before his death, his wife maintained a different position on the burial arrangements.

The disagreement prompted the intervention of the Oyo State Police Command after it received information about the dispute on October 28. The Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Abimbola, subsequently facilitated efforts to resolve the matter.

With the burial now scheduled for today, the development is expected to bring an end to weeks of uncertainty surrounding the final rites of the late gospel singer.
