Oyo Police Resolve Burial Dispute for Gospel Singer Toluwanisings

The Oyo State Police Command intervened in a dispute regarding the burial arrangements of late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonle Bolaji, known as Toluwanisings, who died on October 14, 2026, in Ibadan after reportedly slumping. Following allegations that several hospitals refused to provide emergency care, the police received reports of disagreements among the deceased's relatives, friends, and associates on October 28, 2026.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbenga, directed that all parties be summoned to the Command Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, to prevent escalation. On November 3, 2026, a peace undertaking was signed by the deceased's wife, Mrs Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola; his father, Mr Muniru Olayemi; and several associates, including Oyindamola Esther, Babadunni Gbolabo, and Comrade Lawal Ademola Rafiu.

The agreement mandates all parties to maintain peace, refrain from public exchanges, and cease disseminating information that could inflame tensions surrounding the singer's demise.
