Family divided over Toluwanisings' burial arrangements
Toluwanisings, born Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, died in Ibadan on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping. His death quickly became a source of tension between members of his family, with disagreements emerging over his final resting place.
His father, Muniru Adekunle Olayemi, reportedly preferred that his son be buried at a family home or in Ikirun, Osun State, where the singer's mother was laid to rest.
He claimed his daughter-in-law, the singer's widow Akanbi Elizabeth, favoured a cemetery or church burial ground instead.
The Toluwanisings' paternal uncle, Lawal Ademola, echoed the family's preference, stating that the burial should take place at Toluwanisings' residence in Ibadan.
