The remains of Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, have been laid to rest at his residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, following weeks of disagreement among family members over his final resting place.

The burial took place on Monday, November 9, in a private ceremony attended by family members. It followed a lying-in-state and burial service at Banjola Event and Conference Centre in Alakia, Ibadan.

The disagreement involved his widow, Elizabeth Damilola Olayemi, and his father, Muniru Olayemi, over whether the singer should be buried at his home, in a cemetery or beside his late mother in Ikirun, Osun State.

The Oyo State Police Command intervened, leading to a peace agreement signed by the parties on November 3, after which they agreed to stop public exchanges over the matter.

Toluwanisings died on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.
