Tears flowed as late Nigerian gospel singer, Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji Sodiq, popularly known as Toluwanisings, was laid to rest in Ibadan on Monday, November 9, 2026. Recall that Entertainment Region previously reported that the 34-year-old singer passed away on October 14, 2026, after reportedly slumping and being taken to about seven to eight hospitals in search of medical attention, but all efforts to save his life proved unsuccessful.
His death subsequently triggered a prolonged disagreement between his immediate family and maternal relatives over his burial arrangements. However, both sides eventually reached an agreement to proceed with the burial ceremony.
Footage from the funeral showed pallbearers dressed in black suits solemnly carrying the singer’s white casket as they prepared to convey him to his final resting place.
Trumpeters led the procession, playing solemn tunes as the pallbearers marched towards the vehicle arranged to transport the late singer.
Toluwanisings was subsequently taken to his family home, where a private burial ceremony was held.
In another emotional video, the singer’s casket was opened, allowing family members and other attendees to catch their final glimpse of him one after another before he was eventually buried amid tears.
