Toluwanisings’ Grandmother Insists He Must Be Buried in His House

According to The Guardian Nigeria, published on October 27, 2026, the paternal grandmother of late Nigerian gospel singer Toluwanisings has insisted that he should be buried in the house he built rather than beside his late mother.

The grandmother made her position known during an interview with media personality Dumininu Kingdom, where she also spoke about her relationship with the singer before his death.

According to the report, she claimed that Toluwanisings rarely contacted her while he was alive and that she had limited knowledge of his achievements in gospel music.

She also alleged that the singer provided little financial assistance. She said he sent her ₦10,000 on approximately three occasions after she complained about his failure to visit or check on her.

The grandmother further claimed that he did not regularly assist her with medication or other personal needs. Despite the difficulties she described in their relationship, she said his death caused her deep sorrow.

Speaking about his burial, she maintained that she wanted him laid to rest in the house he built. She expressly opposed the idea of burying him beside his mother’s grave.

Her position adds to the ongoing disagreement among members of the late singer’s family over his final resting place. His father has also expressed a preference for a burial at the house, according to reports about the family’s discussions.

However, the grandmother’s statement represents her personal wish and does not establish that a final burial decision has been reached.

The disagreement has attracted public attention as relatives continue to express different views about the arrangements. The family has also faced calls for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the singer’s death.

As of the reports published on October 27, the dispute over the burial arrangements remained unresolved. The grandmother’s comments have brought renewed attention to the family’s disagreement and her account of her relationship with the late gospel singer.
