The family of the late gospel singer, Olayemi Bolaji Bayonile, popularly known as Toluwanisings, has announced plans to bury him today in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The funeral announcement shared on the deceased’s Instagram page said there would be a lying-in-state at Banjola Event and Conference Centre, Alakia, Ibadan, between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

This will be followed by a burial service from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Family members, friends, fans and colleagues have shared the burial plans and are at the event to pay their last respects to the singer.

The Oyo State police command recently resolved the disagreement between the late singer’s widow and family over where he should be buried.

Reports said the musician’s paternal family preferred his newly built residence as his final resting place, while his widow opted for a cemetery.

The singer’s burial today will end the disagreement and allow the parties to focus on the future and preserving his legacy.

The gospel singer died on October 14 after he reportedly slumped in his residence.

He was born in July 1992, making him 34 years old at the time of his death.
