Recall that the singer had passed away in the early hours of 14th October, 2026. His family confirmed the sad news, urging the public to keep his wife, family, and loved ones in prayers during this difficult time. Following the news of his passing, online reports claimed Toluwanisings collapsed on the stairs of his Ibadan residence following a worship event the previous night.
He was rushed to multiple hospitals with the hope of being saved. The first hospital allegedly turned him away, and so did the second, and by the time they arrived at the third hospital, it was too late, and he was gone. Confirming it, his personal assistant, Babadunni, recounted how he slumped and rushed to multiple hospitals before meeting his death. The PA said his boss was fine and in perfect condition and believes his death was God’s timing.
Following his demise, Woli Agba, Bidemi Olaoba, Babatunmise, BBO, and others stormed his Ibadan residence for a condolence visit. In July, 2026, the singer had survived a serious road accident with his band, which he described as a miraculous escape. Toluwanisings hailed from Ikirun, Osun State, and worked as a trained estate surveyor before gaining prominence in gospel music. His death adds to the list of gospel singers who have lost their lives this year.
