Olajengbesi, who convenes the Coalition of Public Interests Lawyers and Advocates (COPA) and is currently seeking the Osun Oriade-Obokun Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, shared a photo of Toluwanisings on his Instagram page alongside a message that many interpreted as an announcement of her death.
