Family Conflict Delays Burial of Gospel Singer Bunmi Akinnaanu

Bunmi Akinnaanu, a gospel singer who passed away on January 12 after battling a long illness, has not been buried due to an ongoing conflict within her family. Disputes over funeral arrangements led to a breakdown in plans, with disagreements on burial dates and poor communication causing tensions.

The cleric, Segun Arol of the Cherubim and Seraphim Global Network, intervened to address the issues. Despite efforts from senior gospel and fuji musicians like Soji Omotayo, Ambros Shomid, Saheed Osupa, and Wasiu Pasuma to settle the matter, the burial plans remained unresolved.

The family was urged to prioritize peace and forgiveness to move forward. Bunmi Akinnaanu's burial was rescheduled for January 28, 2026.
