Emotions heightened on Monday when gospel singer, Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, was committed to mother earth.
The singer was buried after a funeral service at the Banjola Event and Conference Centre in Alakia, Ibadan, Oyo State.
The funeral service was attended by his colleagues, friends and family members.
Videos shared online from the ceremony showed mourners crying as they stood before his coffin.
His remains were subsequently taken to his residence, where he was buried in a ceremony attended only by family members.
According to a report by the BBC, journalists and bloggers were denied access to the venue.
The internment followed a police-brokered peace agreement signed on November 3, 2026, at the Oyo State Police Command in Eleyele, Ibadan.
This resolved a standoff between his widow, Olayemi Damilola; and his father, Muniru Olayemi; regarding whether he should be buried at a cemetery, at his home, or in his hometown, Ikirun, Osun State.
