Dunmininu Defends Interview with Toluwanisings' Father

Celebrity interviewer Dunmininu addressed backlash on October 27, 2026, regarding his interviews with relatives of late gospel singer Toluwanisings. Critics accused him of exploiting the family following their bereavement, particularly after he shared footage of Toluwanisings' father, Muniru Adekunle Olayemi, and his living conditions in Ikirun.

Many social media users deemed it insensitive to broadcast the family's situation so soon after their loss. Dunmininu, speaking from a car, defended his actions, asserting that his intentions were honorable and aimed at attracting support for the father, who he described as suffering.

While some supported Dunmininu's approach, arguing it could lead to genuine donations, others raised ethical concerns about the implications of celebrity journalism in Nigeria. The controversy reflects ongoing tensions regarding the balance between advocacy and sensationalism in media coverage of vulnerable individuals.
