Damilola Olayemi, the widow of the late Nigerian gospel singer, Toluwanisings, has finally bowed to pressure over the final resting place of her husband.
This came after an alleged disagreement with the singer's
family.
Recall that the family had, in a viral interview
online, alleged that the 32-year-old widow rejected the plan to bury
Toluwanisings at their home in Ibadan, Oyo State.
She reportedly said she preferred him buried at the
cemetery.
Kicking against her wish, Toluwanisings' father insisted
that the singer's body should be taken to his hometown and buried near his late
mother if he can't be buried at his Ibadan residence.
The development sparked controversy online, with many
questioning the wife's love for him and calling for an investigation into his
sudden death.
However, speaking amid the controversy in an Instagram video
on Sunday, Toluwanisings' close associate and colleague, Lanre Alewilese,
revealed that the wife has finally agreed to the singer being buried at home.
While terming the disagreement between the widow and her
father-in-law a misunderstanding, Alewilese pleaded with netizens to be calm
and stop attacking the deceased's wife.
"Please for God's sake, let peace reign. Damilola is
very young for what she's currently going through. I'm very close to the
deceased; his wife is accommodating. All his band members can attest to this.
"The disagreement between Toluwanisings' father and his
widow has been resolved. What happened was just a misunderstanding. The duo
have agreed to bury Toluwanisings at his house. Please, Nigerians, let there be
peace. If you truly love the singer, let his wife have peace now that his
burial place has been resolved."
