According to reports from some popular Nigerian bloggers, the popular Nigerian gospel singer had been hospitalised and was in critical condition following an accident.

Others also claim that Toluwanisings had slumped in his apartment and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

The gospel singer had previously been involved in a ghastly accident involving a trailer, which he and his musical crew survived three months ago.
