The wife, father and associates of the late singer Olayemi Bayonle Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, have signed a peace undertaking following police intervention in disagreements over his burial arrangements.
The Oyo State Police Command said the agreement was reached on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at its headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, after an engagement involving the parties and the Commissioner of Police, CP Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbenga.
According to the Command, the intervention followed information received by the Commissioner on October 28 about the dispute between the deceased’s family and associates, which had generated tension and public exchanges across various communication platforms.
The Command said the disagreement also involved allegations of conspiracy, defamation of character and conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.
Concerned about a possible escalation, the Commissioner directed that the parties be invited for discussions aimed at preserving public order and facilitating an amicable resolution.
Those who signed the undertaking included the deceased’s wife, Mrs Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola; his father, Mr Muniru Olayemi; and friends and associates, including Oyindamola Esther, Babadunni Gbolabo and Comrade Lawal Ademola Rafiu. The deceased’s personal assistant and other representatives also participated.
Under the agreement, the parties committed to maintaining peace, conducting themselves responsibly and avoiding actions capable of aggravating the disagreement.
They also agreed to discontinue public exchanges, interviews and discussions capable of inflaming tensions surrounding the singer’s death, burial arrangements and related issues.
The Command said the undertaking covered the dissemination of narratives, allegations and publications through social media, newspapers, radio, blogs and other communication channels, including material circulated through proxies, agents, associates and representatives.
The parties further agreed not to grant interviews or facilitate media engagements intended to continue the public dispute.
Each signatory also undertook to direct their associates and representatives to stop making, sponsoring, amplifying or circulating publications capable of reigniting the disagreement or undermining the peace agreement.
Reinforcing the commitments, the Commissioner warned the parties against using the circumstances of the singer’s death to instigate hostility, promote unsubstantiated allegations or disrupt public peace.
He said the undertaking must be respected by the signatories and their representatives, adding that anyone whose actions constitute an offence under applicable laws would face arrest and prosecution.
The Command appealed to members of the public, bloggers, media practitioners and other interested individuals to exercise restraint and avoid amplifying unverified information capable of renewing tensions.
It stressed that any conduct independently amounting to a criminal offence would be addressed in accordance with the law.
