Tope Alabi Demands Retraction from Pastor Over Death Claims

Gospel singer and evangelist Tope Alabi has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to Pastor Tayo Ministries, a cleric based in Vancouver, British Columbia, demanding the removal of posts that allegedly link her to the death of fellow gospel artist Toluwanisings, whose legal name was Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji. The cease-and-desist letter, dated October 24, 2026, was sent through her solicitors at Oakmount Legal Practitioners.

The pastor's posts, made between October 20 and 24, accused Alabi of murder and ritual killing in connection with Toluwanisings' death on October 14 at the age of 41. Alabi's legal team dismissed these claims as false and noted that no official investigation supported the accusations.

They characterized the posts as a malicious attempt to exploit public grief. The letter outlines potential legal consequences, including civil proceedings and complaints to Meta Platforms.

As of the report, Pastor Tayo Ministries had not responded to the ultimatum.
