Toluwanisings' widow bows to pressure, agrees for singer to be buried at home

Damilola Olayemi, the wife of the late Nigerian gospel singer Toluwanisings, has finally agreed to the decision of burying her husband at their home in Ibadan, Oyo State. This came after a disagreement with the singer's family, which was brought to light in a viral online interview where the family alleged that Damilola rejected the plan to bury Toluwanisings at their home.

Toluwanisings' father insisted on burying his son near his late mother if burial at Ibadan was not possible. This sparked controversy online, with netizens questioning Damilola's love for her husband and calling for an investigation into his sudden death. However, Toluwanisings' colleague and close associate, Lanre Alewilese, revealed in an Instagram video that the disagreement was a misunderstanding and that the widow has agreed to bury her husband at home.

Alewilese appealed for Nigerians to maintain peace, emphasizing that Damilola is young and going through a difficult time.
