The remains of gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, will be laid to rest in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday, November 9, weeks after his death.

The funeral arrangements, released on the singer’s official Instagram page, indicate that the lying-in-state will hold between 9am and 10am, followed by a burial service from 10am to 11am.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, No. 20, Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan. However, the announcement did not disclose the location of the interment.

Toluwanisings died in the early hours of October 14, 2026, according to an earlier announcement by his family.

His burial arrangements had been surrounded by controversy following reported disagreements between his family and some of his associates over where he should be buried.

His father, Muniru Olayemi, had reportedly proposed that the singer be buried either at the house he built or beside his late mother in Osun State, while his widow was said to have opposed burying him at their residence.

The disagreement reportedly prompted the family to call for an investigation into his death and a suspension of the burial plans.

However, the Oyo State Police Command intervened after receiving information about the dispute on October 28, with Commissioner of Police Olugbenga Abimbola facilitating efforts to resolve the disagreement.

On November 3, the singer’s widow, Elizabeth Damilola Olayemi; his father, Muniru Olayemi; and some of his friends and associates, including Oyindamola Esther, Babadunni Gbolabo and Lawal Ademola Rafiu, reportedly signed a peace undertaking before the police commissioner.

Under the agreement, the parties committed to ending public exchanges, interviews and social media posts relating to the burial disagreement.

The burial is now scheduled to hold on Monday, bringing the weeks of uncertainty surrounding the singer’s final rites to a close.
