The timeline that his father had previously provided has been directly challenged by Toluwanising’s maternal uncle, the younger brother of his late mother.
In an online post, he stated:
“We can no longer remain silent. This situation is becoming increasingly disturbing and unacceptable. Toluwanising’s ’s struggles began at a very tender age, and sadly, there was no one to come to his rescue. His mother d!ed when he was just 9 months old, not 6 months as the father claimed.
“I know the full story, and it breaks my heart to have to revisit these painful events, especially when people continue to spread false narratives without knowing the actual facts.
“After giving birth, Toluwani’s mother spent three months with us before travelling to the North to reunite with her husband. Sadly, she passed away six months later, raising serious questions about the circumstances surrounding her death. Due to concerns about her husband’s ability to properly care for her, we, her maternal family, had to step in and take responsibility for Toluwanisings. We had serious doubts about his father’s ability to care for the child.
“Since we took custody of Toluwani in 1992, his father has never shown up or made any effort to be present in his life. As his mother’s younger brother.
“Toluwanisings started struggling right from child that it got to a stage he had to start making local basket just to support himself.
“Enough of the misinformation and false narratives. Stop rewriting history without knowing the facts. Show some respect to the maternal family that took responsibility for raising Toluwani from infancy when others were absent”.
We have heard many different stories about Toluwanisings, and we appeal to both his family and his wife to put aside their differences and treat one another with compassion. This is a time to support and care for the widow—not reject, insult, or abuse her. We also urge everyone to avoid spreading unverified rumours and accusations about Toluwanisings. His family should focus on giving him a dignified burial and allowing him to rest in peace, rather than saying things that could damage his name and the legacy he built. Enough of the speculation; the widow deserves care and understanding, not further distress.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
