The remains of Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, are scheduled to be laid to rest today in Ibadan, Oyo State, following the resolution of a dispute between members of his family and his widow.
Titiansloaded reports that the funeral ceremony will hold at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan.
The burial marks the final stage of arrangements for the singer, whose death on October 14 triggered controversy and disagreements among members of his family.
Toluwanisings reportedly slumped at his residence and died on the same day. His sudden death generated public attention, particularly after disagreements emerged between his widow and his relatives over issues surrounding his passing and the arrangements following his death.
The family dispute became a subject of public discussion, with concerns raised about the lack of agreement between the parties.
Several people, including comedian and cleric Woli Arole, reportedly appealed for reconciliation and an end to the disagreement.
The situation eventually moved towards a resolution after the singer’s father signed a peace agreement with his widow.
With the funeral scheduled to take place in Ibadan, family members, friends, colleagues and admirers are expected to gather to pay their final respects to the gospel artiste.
Toluwanisings’ burial comes after weeks of public attention surrounding both his sudden death and the disagreements that followed it.
