Following disputes over the burial plans of the late Nigerian singer Olayemi Bayonle Bolaji, also known as Toluwanisings, the Oyo State Police Command mediated a settlement between his family and associates.
Allegations of conspiracy, character defamation, and behavior likely to cause a breach of peace have led to public exchanges between parties on social media and other communication platforms, according to reports.
The Command said in a statement on Tuesday that after learning about the conflict on October 28, 2026, Commissioner of Police Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbenga ordered the parties to come to the Command Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, for an intervention.
The statement reads, “Consequently, at the conclusion of the engagement held today, 3rd November 2026, all parties, comprising the deceased’s wife, Mrs Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola; his father, Mr Muniru Olayemi; his friends and associates, including Oyindamola Esther, Babadunni Gbolabo and Comrade Lawal Ademola Rafiu, as well as the deceased’s personal assistant and other representatives, entered into and signed a peace undertaking before the Commissioner of Police.
“Under the terms of the undertaking, all parties agreed to maintain peace and be of good behaviour, refrain from any act capable of causing a breach of the peace, and discontinue public exchanges, interviews and discussions capable of inflaming tensions or aggravating the existing disagreement surrounding the unfortunate demise of the singer and related issues.
“Furthermore, the parties expressly undertook to discontinue the dissemination of information, narratives, allegations and publications relating to the matter through social media platforms, print media, radio, blogs and other communication channels, including publications made through their respective proxies, agents, associates and representatives. They equally agreed not to grant interviews, provide access or facilitate engagements with individuals or media platforms for the purpose of further disseminating such narratives. In addition, each party undertook to direct their respective proxies and associates to desist from making, sponsoring, amplifying or circulating publications capable of reigniting the disagreement or undermining the peace agreement.
“In reinforcing the terms of the undertaking, the Commissioner of Police warned that the agreement must be respected by all parties and extended to their proxies, agents, associates and representatives. He cautioned that no individual should take advantage of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the singer’s demise to instigate hostility, promote unsubstantiated allegations or engage in conduct capable of disrupting public peace. Any person whose actions constitute an offence under applicable laws will be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.”
I commend the Oyo State Police for helping the parties reach a peaceful agreement. There is nothing more valuable than peace, and preserving the legacy Toluwanising built while alive should be a priority. I urge everyone involved to choose peace over conflict and to allow his loved ones an agreed period to visit.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
