In a video of the visit shared online, a member of Luqman\u2019s delegation explained the purpose of their visit to Olayemi, telling him that the offer was intended to provide him with a more comfortable place to live and support his grandchildren\u2019s education.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cLuqman asked us to visit you for two reasons. Firstly, he is concerned about your housing condition. He said we should find a comfortable place for you to live for at least two years, where you can have peace of mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe also said he wants to sponsor your grandchildren\u2019s education up to the higher institution level, so he would like to have your permission.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis recent event is heartbreaking because our friend who died was one of the stars of Ikirun,\u201d the delegate said.\n<\/p>\n
The campaign organisation said the intervention reflected Luqman\u2019s concern for vulnerable members of society and his belief that community responsibility should be part of public service. <\/p>\n
It stated, \u201cWhile the loss of a loved one leaves a deep emotional void, the support extended to the family is intended to ease some of the practical difficulties confronting them and provide hope for the future, particularly for the children.\u201d<\/p>\n The statement further said the intervention was meant to extend beyond expressions of sympathy by addressing the family\u2019s immediate needs and the children\u2019s long-term welfare.<\/p>\n However, the campaign statement described the accommodation and scholarships as offers and pledges; it did not indicate that the family had already moved into a new apartment or that the scholarships had been formally implemented.\n<\/p>\n Toluwanisings died in the early hours of October 14, 2026, in Ibadan, Oyo State, after reportedly slumping. His death generated public concern, with his personal assistant, Babadunni Gbolabo, alleging that efforts to obtain medical attention for the singer involved visits to several hospitals before he died.\n<\/p>\n The University College Hospital, Ibadan, said it had no record of the singer being brought to the facility. The exact cause of his death had not been publicly confirmed in the reports provided.\n<\/p>\n Beyond the circumstances of his death, disagreements within the family over his burial arrangements also attracted public attention.\n<\/p>\n The singer\u2019s father said he wanted his son buried at the house he built in Ibadan or, alternatively, beside his late mother in Ikirun. The widow, Akanbi Elizabeth, was reported to have preferred burial in a cemetery or church ground, saying she would not be comfortable living in a house where her husband was buried, particularly with their children.<\/p>\n A man who identified himself as the singer\u2019s uncle, Lawal Ademola, supported a home burial or burial beside the singer\u2019s mother in Ikirun if the first option was not possible. He also said the widow had objected to taking the body to Ikirun because of the distance.\n<\/p>\n The singer\u2019s grandmother, Sabitiyu Olayemi, also opposed a cemetery burial and insisted that her grandson should be buried at the house he built. She rejected the alternative of burying him beside his mother.<\/p>\n The disagreement delayed burial plans and prompted public debate over the preferences of the paternal family and the widow. The reports provided did not establish a final burial location.\n<\/p>\n The family issues also extended to the singer\u2019s upbringing and relationship with relatives. His father said the singer\u2019s mother died when he was about six months old and that he was raised largely by maternal relatives. He also disputed reports that his son was older than 34, saying he was born in July 1992.\n<\/p>\n The singer was survived by his wife and two daughters. At a night of tributes held in Ibadan on October 27, his widow broke down in tears while mourning him and appealed to people not to forget her and their children.\n <\/p>\n Source: <\/p>\n An Ikirun-born philanthropist and All Peoples Movement senatorial candidate for Osun Central, Ibraheem Luqman, has offered to provide accommodation for the father of late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3017\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.punchng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/29080548\/Screenshot-2026-10-29-080436_1793257548.webp\")
