Nigerian comedian and actor Woli Arole has appealed to the family of late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, to resolve their differences and proceed with his burial.
Titansloaded reports that Arole made the appeal in a video shared on his social media page on Monday, saying he felt compelled by God to speak out as disagreements over the late singer’s burial continued to attract public attention.
The entertainer described Toluwanisings’ death as a painful loss, adding that friends and colleagues were still struggling to come to terms with his passing.
He also criticised individuals he accused of using the singer’s death to gain attention on social media through interviews and public comments.
According to Arole, some of those now speaking about the late musician failed to recognise his contributions while he was alive, while overlooking the grief of his widow and two children.
He urged the family to put aside their differences and ensure the singer receives a dignified burial, stressing that his musical legacy would remain intact regardless of the burial arrangements.
Referencing the Bible, Arole said he believed he had been prompted to call for an end to the disagreement and for the burial process to be allowed to proceed without further delay.
He further encouraged the family and the public to focus on preserving Toluwanisings’ legacy, particularly for the benefit of his wife and children.
Arole described the singer’s music as enduring and said his songs would continue to live in the hearts of those who appreciated his work.
He concluded by appealing for the burial arrangements to be finalised quickly, noting the emotional burden faced by the late singer’s young widow.
