Oyo Police Resolve Burial Dispute for Gospel Singer Toluwanisings

The Oyo State Police Command intervened to resolve disputes over the burial arrangements of the late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonle, known as Toluwanisings. On November 1, 2026, a peace undertaking was signed at the police headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, after the Commissioner of Police, Abimbola Olugbenga, invited the involved parties.

The disagreement arose on October 28, concerning whether Toluwanisings should be buried at his father's house or beside his late mother in Osun State. The parties included his wife, Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola; his father, Muniru Olayemi; and friends and associates.

They agreed to maintain peace, refrain from actions that could escalate tensions, and cease public discussions about the matter. The police emphasized that all parties must respect the agreement and ensure their representatives do not reignite the dispute through any form of communication.
