In the immediate aftermath of his passing, the family released a statement on Friday, October 16, 2026, urging the public to ignore unverified online reports regarding his funeral. They strongly emphasized that their official Instagram page remained the sole credible source for information. At that specific time, they confirmed that no arrangements had been finalized.
However, progress has since been made regarding the memorial plans. On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the family officially announced the date and venue for a night of tributes and a service of songs dedicated to his memory.
The Tragic Circumstances of His Passing
The sudden loss of the young, vibrant artist sent immediate shockwaves across social media platforms. According to the singer’s personal assistant, Toluwanisings suddenly slumped at his residence. The situation rapidly deteriorated as they sought urgent medical attention.
Tragically, the singer passed away after reportedly being rejected by eight different hospitals in Ibadan, Oyo State. These rejections were reportedly due to a severe lack of necessary emergency medical equipment at the facilities.

- Lawyer Pelumi Olajengbesi publicly lamented the untimely deaths of young Nigerians, calling for God’s mercy upon Toluwanisings.
- Fellow gospel artiste Mega99 described the late singer as an exceptional talent and a rare gem possessing a highly unique voice.
As the gospel community prepares for the upcoming service of songs, thousands of supporters continue to offer prayers for his grieving wife, children, and extended family members.
