The burial of late gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, is scheduled to take place on Monday in Ibadan, Oyo State, weeks after his death on October 14, 2026.
A funeral arrangement poster shared on the singer’s official Instagram page on Monday indicated that the lying-in-state would hold between 9am and 10am, followed by a burial service scheduled for 10am to 11am.
The ceremony is expected to take place at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, No. 20, Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan. However, the poster, which carried the inscription, “Forever in our Hearts, always in our Lives,” did not disclose the location of the interment.
The singer’s family had announced that he died in the early hours of October 14, 2026.
Before the latest announcement, disagreements had reportedly emerged among the deceased’s family members, wife and associates over his burial arrangements.
His father was said to have proposed that he be buried either at the house he built or beside his late mother in Osun State, while his wife reportedly opposed the suggestion of burying him at their residence.
The family had also called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death and requested the suspension of the planned burial.
The media reports that the Oyo State Police Command had earlier intervened in the disagreement following information received by the Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Abimbola, on October 28, 2026.
The intervention followed reports of tensions and public exchanges between the deceased’s family and associates over the proposed burial arrangements.
On November 3, the singer’s widow, Mrs Elizabeth Damilola Olayemi; his father, Mr Muniru Olayemi; and some of his friends and associates, including Oyindamola Esther, Babadunni Gbolabo and Lawal Ademola Rafiu, signed a peace undertaking before the commissioner.
Under the agreement, the parties pledged to refrain from public exchanges, media interviews and social media publications concerning the disagreement.
