Toluwanisings' Family Confirms Gospel Singer's Death

The family of gospel minister Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, known as Toluwanisings, confirmed his death on October 14, 2026. This announcement came after hours of speculation and uncertainty that had taken over social media earlier that day.

The family shared the news on Toluwanisings' Instagram page, stating he passed away in the early hours of October 14. The confirmation followed a post by Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq., Convener of the Coalition of Public Interests Lawyers and Advocates (COPA), who expressed grief over the loss of young Nigerians and shared a photo of the singer with the message "no to untimely death!"
