Toluwanisings' father reveals singer's life and faith

The father of late Nigerian gospel singer Sadiq Olayemi Bayonle, known as Toluwanisings, spoke out following his son's death on October 14, 2026, at the age of 34. He revealed that Toluwanisings was born in July 1992 and raised by his maternal family, who were Christians, after his mother passed away when he was six months old.

Despite being raised away from his father, Toluwanisings maintained a connection with his paternal side, receiving support from a paternal uncle. He attended Yaba College in Lagos, where he met his future wife through a church choir.

The father noted that Toluwanisings had a warm relationship with his half-siblings, providing them with financial support. Just a day before his death, Toluwanisings promised to assist one of his younger half-siblings.

The father expressed a wish for his son to be buried in the house Toluwanisings built during his lifetime.
