The remains of late gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, were buried at his residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday, in a private ceremony attended by a few guests.\n<\/p>\n

PUNCH Online, which monitored the burial, observed that access to the singer\u2019s resting place was restricted, with the ceremony conducted away from public attention.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere around the residence was unusually quiet, as even neighbours were not seen around the area, giving the impression of a tightly private burial.\n<\/p>\n

Security personnel were also present at the venue, while media access to the singer\u2019s resting place was restricted.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s remains were first transported from the burial service to his house, where a final viewing was held before he was finally laid to rest.\n<\/p>\n

The ceremony followed weeks of public controversy over his final resting place, after his father, Muniru Adekunle Olayemi, and his widow reportedly disagreed over where he should be buried.<\/p>\n

His father had initially expressed a preference for burying him at the house he built or beside his late mother in Ikirun, Osun State.<\/p>\n

The disagreement prompted calls for intervention, with the Oyo State Police Command earlier disclosing that the parties involved had signed a peace undertaking.\n<\/p>\n

Toluwanisings died in Ibadan on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping. His death generated public concern following allegations by his personal assistant, Babadunni Gbolabo, that several hospitals declined to admit him while efforts were being made to obtain emergency medical attention.<\/p>\n
