Gospel artist Laolu Gbenjo has strongly condemned what he described as wickedness and manipulation surrounding the circumstances of the late singer, Olayemi Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.
Gbenjo made the appeal during a night of tributes held in honour of the late musician at the Jogor Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State. Addressing the gathering, he passionately urged individuals allegedly behind any underhanded tactics to halt their actions immediately.
Describing Toluwanisings as a devoted servant of God and a man of integrity, Gbenjo noted that the late singer possessed a pure heart and was a friend to all.
Cautioning against attempts to distort facts or control narratives regarding the tragic event, Gbenjo stated that whoever was orchestrating such moves should desist. He called on attendees to collectively reject such actions, leading them in a unified stance against perceived malice.
The remarks come amid heightened emotions and grief surrounding Toluwanisings’ passing, which occurred on October 14, 2026. Fellow artistes and industry colleagues at the memorial event paid glowing tributes, demanding sincerity and peace as the public comes to terms with the loss.
