The burial of late gospel singer Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, is scheduled to hold on Monday in Ibadan, Oyo State, weeks after his death on October 14, 2026.
A funeral arrangement poster shared on the singer’s official Instagram page on Monday indicated that the lying-in-state would take place from 9am to 10am, followed by a burial service between 10am and 11am.
The venue was listed as Banjola Event and Conference Centre, No. 20, Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan.
The poster, which carried the inscription, “Forever in our Hearts, always in our Lives,” did not specify where the singer would be laid to rest.
Toluwanisings’ family had announced that he died in the early hours of October 14, 2026.
His death was followed by disagreements among family members and associates over his burial arrangements.

His father reportedly proposed that the singer be buried either at the house he built or beside his late mother in Osun State, while his wife was said to have opposed the proposal to bury him at their home.
The family also called for an investigation into his death and sought the suspension of the planned burial.
The Oyo State Police Command had earlier intervened in the disagreement after Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Abimbola, received information on October 28 about tensions between the deceased’s family and associates over the burial arrangements.
The dispute had reportedly generated public exchanges and reactions across social media platforms.
On November 3, the singer’s widow, Mrs Elizabeth Damilola Olayemi; his father, Mr Muniru Olayemi; and some of his friends and associates, including Oyindamola Esther, Babadunni Gbolabo and Lawal Ademola Rafiu, signed a peace undertaking before the police commissioner.
Under the agreement, the parties pledged to refrain from public exchanges, interviews and social media publications concerning their disagreement.
The scheduled burial comes after the police-brokered agreement aimed at resolving the dispute and preventing further escalation.
