Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, is scheduled to be buried in Ibadan, Oyo State, following weeks of disagreement between his family and widow, Damilola Olayemi, over his burial arrangements.
The funeral programme was announced on Toluwanisings’ official Instagram page on Monday, November 9, 2026.
According to the announcement, the lying-in-state will take place from 9am to 10am, followed by the burial service between 10am and 11am. The ceremony is scheduled for Banjola Event and Conference Centre, No. 20, Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan, although the location of the actual interment was not disclosed.
The Oyo State Police Command had earlier intervened in the dispute, bringing the deceased’s wife, father, friends and associates together for a peace agreement on November 3. Police spokesperson DSP Ayanlade Olayinka said the parties signed an undertaking to maintain peace, avoid public exchanges and refrain from actions capable of causing further tension over the singer’s death and burial.
