Toluwanisings’ Wife and Daughters Attend His Burial in Ibadan

Gospel music lovers, family members and friends have bid a final farewell to late singer Toluwanisings, who was laid to rest in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Kemi Filani reported that the singer’s family had earlier announced his burial arrangements, which included a lying-in-state scheduled for 9 am and the burial ceremony at 10 am at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, Alakia, Ibadan.

The funeral, held on Monday, was attended by loved ones who gathered to honour his memory and pay their last respects.

Several videos from the ceremony have since emerged online, capturing different moments from the singer’s final journey.

One of the earlier clips showed his remains being transported to his residence in Alakia, while another captured family members and friends gathered around his casket to bid him farewell.

Additional footage from the burial showed his wife, Damilola Olayemi, and their two daughters standing beside his graveside at the family residence. The family was seen participating in the dust-to-dust rites as the late singer was finally laid to rest.

His burial followed discussions surrounding where he would be laid to rest. Last week, his widow reportedly agreed to the family’s request for him to be buried at his residence in Ibadan.

According to accounts circulating after his passing, efforts were made to get him medical attention at different hospitals. However, he reportedly could not be saved.

His personal assistant, Babadunni, also spoke about the incident, recounting how the singer suddenly slumped and was taken to several hospitals.

He described his boss as someone who had been in good condition before the incident and expressed his belief that his passing was God’s timing.

A Night of Tribute was also organised in his honour on October 27, attracting several entertainers and gospel music ministers.

Among those who attended were actresses Bimbo Oshin and Woli Agba, alongside gospel artistes Yinka Alaseyori, Laolu Gbenjo, Esther Igbekele, Akintayo Akinwande, SB Live, Bidemi Olaoba, Mr Gbera, Peterson Okopi and Sarah Apekeola.

His burial has brought an end to the funeral arrangements following his death, as his wife, children, family members and colleagues continue to remember his life and contributions to gospel music.
