Late Olayemi Bolaji, well known as Toluwanisings, is being buried today, Monday Novemeber 9, 2026, in Ibadan, Oyo Sate
He died on 14 October 2026, and his family says he passed away in the early hours of that day.
A funeral schedule posted on his official Instagram page shows the lying in state will run from 9am to 10am, followed by the burial service from 10am to 11am.
The programme will be held at Banjola Event and Conference Centre on Hope Road, Alakia, Ibadan.
The poster did not say where he will be laid to rest.
The funeral has been surrounded by disagreement.
His father reportedly wanted him buried at the house he built or beside his mother in Osun State.
His wife was said to be against burying him at their home.
The family also asked for an investigation into his death and for the planned burial to be put on hold.
The Oyo State Police Command stepped in on 28 October to calm things down after the dispute spilled over into public statements and social media.
On 3 November, his widow, Mrs Elizabeth Damilola Olayemi, his father, Mr Muniru Olayemi, and some friends and associates signed a peace agreement before the Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Abimbola.
They agreed to stop making public statements, interviews and social media posts about the dispute.
