UCH Ibadan Denies Admission of Singer Toluwasings Amid Death

The University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan clarified that it has no record of Nigerian singer Olayemi Bolaji, known as Toluwasings, being brought to the facility. His death ignited outrage due to claims that multiple hospitals in Ibadan failed to provide emergency treatment after he collapsed.

Toluwasings' personal assistant, Babadunni Olayemi, reported that efforts to save the singer were unsuccessful after he was taken to approximately eight hospitals, with some citing doctors on strike and others rejecting him. This situation led to public outcry, with some Nigerians linking the challenges in accessing emergency care to a strike by resident doctors at UCH.

Funmilayo Enitan, the Public Relations Officer of UCH, confirmed that the hospital had been on a local strike but had resumed services after the resident doctors' strike was suspended. She stated that she was unaware of Toluwasings being brought to UCH and that there was no official record of his admission.
