Nigerian gospel singer, songwriter and music minister, Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, has reportedly passed away.
His death was announced on Wednesday, 14 October, by the Convener of the Coalition of Public Interests Lawyers and Advocates, Pelumi Olajengbesi, in a post he shared on Instagram.
The now trending post, however, did not reveal the circumstances surrounding the demise of the singer.
Expressing concern over the death of young Nigerians, Olajengbesi pleaded for God’s mercy.
While noting that the death of Toluwanisings is not God’s plan, he wrote, “We say no to untimely death.”
Sharing the singer’s picture, Pelumi said, “My God! What a life! No, Lord! We plead for Your mercy upon Toluwanisings.
“I am deeply troubled by the deaths of young men and women. This is not God’s plan for us.”

Also reacting to the sad news, comedian Woli Agba said they are still praying for a miracle.
He wrote on his page, “Please hold on. Please don’t conclude. We are trusting God. Please.”
Toluwanisings, who hailed from Ikirun, Osun State, gained prominence in gospel music circles over the last few years.
He was known for his live performances and worship songs, including Kos’Oluwa Laye, which have become anthems at concerts and events.
In July 2026, the singer and members of his team reportedly survived a road accident involving a heavy trailer while returning from a ministration.
He subsequently shared the incident as a testimony of divine protection.
