A man who identified himself as the uncle of gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as ToluwaniSings, has called for an impartial investigation into the singer’s death, warning against interference or attempts to cover up details surrounding the incident.
The man, Lawal Ademola, made the appeal in an interview with Dunmininu Kingdom, which was posted on Facebook on Monday.
He urged the government, community leaders and law enforcement authorities to ensure that the investigation was conducted fairly and that nobody was victimised or shielded from scrutiny.
“Please help us, our elders, as we seek a proper investigation into the death of Sodiq. You who are the government, our leaders, and the law, please enforce the law and empower the investigation so that there won’t be biased judgments or victimisation.
“Nobody should interfere or try to cover things up regarding Sodiq, because this has deeply affected us,” he said.
In a separate video, the man recounted his visit to ToluwaniSings’ house, where he said some family members were watching television when he arrived.
He also recounted a disagreement over ToluwaniSings’ burial arrangements, saying he wanted the singer to be buried at the house where he lived with his wife and children.
According to him, the wife opposed the idea, saying she could not bear to see her husband’s corpse at the house every day, particularly with the children around.
The man said the disagreement continued as other relatives proposed taking the body to Ikirun for burial, but the wife also objected to the option, describing the location as too far.
The man referred to ToluwaniSings as Sodiq, the name he was given at birth in his Muslim family.
PUNCH Online had earlier reported on the circumstances surrounding ToluwaniSings’ death, including his family’s confirmation of his death on October 14, 2026, and allegations that he was taken to eight hospitals before he died.
