Gospel singer apologises to Toluwanisings’ wife over ₦6m donation

A gospel singer named Lanre Alewilese has apologized to Elizabeth Akanbi, the wife of the late singer Toluwanisings, for organizing a ₦6 million fundraising effort to support Shadrach Taiwo's education. The controversy arose after an audio recording allegedly featuring Toluwanisings complained about the financial burden of sponsoring Shadrach's education in the UK.

Alewilese stated that he did not realize Shadrach was not Toluwanisings' biological sibling until after the singer's death. He had been introduced to Shadrach by the late singer as his full brother. Alewilese mentioned that Toluwanisings had previously approached him for assistance in facilitating Shadrach's travel to the United States.
