Nigerian gospel singer Toluwanisings, whose real name is Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, has reportedly died.
His death was announced on Wednesday by Pelumi Olajengbesi, convener of the Coalition of Public Interests Lawyers and Advocates (COPA).
Olajengbesi expressed grief over the singer’s death and raised concerns about the growing number of young Nigerians dying.
Sharing Toluwanisings’ picture on Instagram, he wrote: “My God! What a life! No, Lord! We plead for Your mercy upon Toluwanisings.
“I am deeply troubled by the deaths of young men and women. This is not God’s plan for us.”
Olajengbesi also declared: “We say no to untimely death.”
The announcement followed reports about the singer’s condition that surfaced on social media approximately two hours earlier.
