Update: October 15, 2026
Nigerian gospel singer Toluwanisings, whose real name is Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, has reportedly passed away, according to a public announcement shared on his Instagram handle.
The announcement, issued in the name of his ministry, Toluwani Gospel Music Ministry (TOGOMM), states that the gospel minister died in the early hours of October 14, 2026. It describes him as a beloved husband, family member, and gospel minister.
The announcement also asks the public to keep his wife and family in their prayers during this difficult time. It adds that funeral arrangements will be announced by the family in due course.
Earlier Reports About Toluwanisings’ Condition
News of the singer’s alleged death sparked concern and confusion across social media, with several people sharing emotional messages and seeking clarification about his condition.
Earlier, a message circulating online and attributed to his wife stated that he was doing well and urged people to disregard reports of his death. The message thanked those who had called and sent messages of concern.
However, the subsequent public announcement shared on the singer’s Instagram handle has added a new development to the story. The earlier message and the later announcement have contributed to the confusion surrounding the reports.
Family Requests Prayers
In the public announcement, the family asked for prayers and support as they navigate this difficult period. It also stated that further details about the funeral arrangements would be communicated in due course.
As of the time of writing, the announcement does not state the cause of death. Gospel Afriwan will update this report if the family or an authorised representative releases further confirmed information.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, ministry, and everyone mourning the loss of the gospel singer.
