Colleagues, fans and stakes in the entertainment industry have mourned gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.

The singer’s demise was announced by his family on Wednesday. While the cause of his death was not stated, it was gathered that he slumped in his residence and was rushed to a hospital where he was confirmed dead. 

The deceased’s colleagues expressed shock over the incident and prayed God to rest his soul and comfort his family. 

“Even in our pain, Lord we judge you faithful. It is well,” said gospel singer Adeyinka Alaseyori.

Also, gospel singer Bidemi Olaoba wrote, “Lord, we judge you faithful, even in moments like this when words fail us and our hearts are heavy. Even when we do not understand, we choose to trust You. Even through the tears, we hold on to Your unfailing love. Lord, we still judge You faithful.”

“My team and I still spoke about how you were worshiping on Sunday and supporting everyone, even when you were not ministering at the event, and that’s just how your heart has always been!,” said gospel singer Paul Tomisin.

Besides, gospel singer, Pelumi Deborah, wrote, “Three days ago, we laughed. Today, you’re a memory. An unfinished conversation, a goodbye we never said, a heart struggling to understand how quickly “see you later” can become “rest in peace.” Life is fragile! Till we meet again, Uncle T.”

“Such a rude shock. This one hits differently. It still feels so unreal. Even in our pain, we judge You faithful, Lord. Rest well, God’s soldier. Until we meet again,” another popular gospel singer, Dare Melody, mourned.

Another of his colleague, Shola Adesina, wrote, “How do I even begin to process this? You were still at my concert on Sunday. You showed up for me, we saw each other and I was so happy to have you there. This hurts differently. I honestly don’t even know what to say. My heart is so heavy.”
