Toluwanisings' Widow Weeps at Tribute Event in Ibadan

Akanbi Elizabeth, the widow of the late Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, known as Toluwanisings, emotionally paid tribute to her husband at a memorial event held in Ibadan, Oyo State. The event took place on a Tuesday, where several gospel singers, including Adeyinka Alaseyori, Esther Igbekele, and others, were present.

A video captured Elizabeth struggling to complete her tribute as she expressed her grief, stating, “Toluwanisings, my dear husband. I will forever miss you.

Please do not forget your children and I.” Toluwanisings passed away on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping, which has led to controversy regarding the circumstances of his death. Allegations have surfaced about difficulties in obtaining emergency medical care and disagreements among family members concerning his burial arrangements.

Following his death, his personal assistant, Babadunni Gbolabo, claimed that efforts to secure emergency medical treatment took him to several hospitals in Ibadan.
