Late Singer Toluwanisings Laid to Rest

Popular gospel singer Toluwanisings has finally been laid to rest.

On 14 October, Toluwanisings – real name Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji – passed away at the age of 41.

According to reports, the “Emi Mimo Ese” hitmaker was buried on Monday, 9 November, at his residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, which he shared with his wife, Itohan, and their two children.

His body lay in state for an hour at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, where friends, family and colleagues could pay their respects. Afterwards, his remains – laid within a white coffin decorated with music notes – were transported via a hearse to his homestead.

A private funeral ceremony took place, after which he was buried.

Toluwanisings’ burial comes a few weeks after his father, Muniru Olayemi, and Itohan disagreed about his final resting place.

While Itohan reportedly wanted her late husband to be buried at a cemetery, Olayemi expressed a wish to bury his son at his home or beside his late mother in Ikirun, Osun State.

Police authorities stepped in to mediate a peace agreement between the two grieving parties, which was reached last Tuesday, 3 November.

Here’s hoping that Toluwanisings’ family can find peace and comfort during this difficult time.
