Yomi Fabiyi Appeals to Toluwanisings' Widow Over Burial Dispute

Actor Yomi Fabiyi has reached out to Elizabeth Akanbi, the widow of late gospel singer Toluwanisings, amid a dispute regarding the location of her husband's burial. Toluwanisings passed away on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping.

The disagreement centers on whether he should be buried at the family home, in Ikirun where his late mother was interred, or at his residence in Ibadan, as preferred by some family members. Muniru Adekunle Olayemi expressed a desire for the burial to take place at the family home or in Ikirun, while Lawal Ademola indicated a preference for the residence in Ibadan.

In a recent video, Fabiyi appealed to Elizabeth to honor the family's wishes, noting that the singer's father had not spoken ill of him. He also raised concerns about the possibility of exhumation for rituals if Toluwanisings were buried in a cemetery, although he did not provide evidence for this claim.
