Popular Nigerian gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, widely known as Toluwanisings, has died.
His family announced his death in a public statement shared on his verified Instagram page on Wednesday night, October 14, 2026.
According to the announcement, the gospel minister died in the early hours of Wednesday, October 14.
The statement reads: “With deep sorrow, the family announces the passing of MINISTER OLAYEMI BAYONILE BOLAJI, Toluwani Gospel Music Ministry (TOGOMM), who passed away in the early hours of 14 October 2026.
“A dearly loved husband, family member, and gospel minister.
“Please keep his wife, family, and loved ones in your prayers during this difficult time. Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family in due course.”
Earlier on Wednesday, there was growing anxiety over his health after reports emerged that he slumped at his residence in Ibadan after complaining of tiredness, hours after ministering at “In His Presence,” a monthly worship programme hosted by Bidemi Olaoba in Ibadan on Tuesday night.
His death comes months after he was involved in a road accident with his band members while returning from a ministration.
Tributes have continued to pour in from colleagues and fans, including lawyer Pelumi Olajengbesi and comedian Woli Agba who had earlier called for prayers.
