For weeks after gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, died, uncertainty surrounded one important question: where would he be laid to rest?
His father, Muniru Adekunle Olayemi, reportedly wanted him buried either at the house he built or beside his late mother in Ikirun, Osun State. However, his widow reportedly disagreed with the proposed arrangements, sparking a dispute that attracted public attention.
The disagreement eventually drew the attention of the Oyo State Police Command, which disclosed that the parties involved had signed a peace undertaking.
On Monday, November 9, 2026, Toluwanisings was finally buried at his residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, in a private ceremony attended by a few guests.
His remains were taken from the burial service to his residence, where a final viewing was held before he was laid to rest. Security personnel were present, and access to the burial site was restricted.
The burial marked the end of weeks of uncertainty surrounding the late singer’s final resting place.Toluwanisings died on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping in Ibadan.
His death also sparked concern following allegations by his personal assistant, Babadunni Gbolabo, that several hospitals declined to admit him while efforts were being made to obtain emergency medical attention.
