An Ikirun-born philanthropist and All Peoples Movement senatorial candidate for Osun Central, Ibraheem Luqman, has offered to provide accommodation for the father of late gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings, and scholarships for the deceased’s two children
The gesture follows public concerns over the living conditions of the singer’s father, Muniru Adekunle Olayemi, after images and videos showing the state of his home attracted attention on social media.
Luqman, in a statement issued by his campaign organisation on Wednesday, said he had dispatched a team to Ikirun, Osun State, to meet the elderly man and communicate his commitment to supporting the family.
According to the statement, the philanthropist offered to relocate Olayemi to decent accommodation within Ikirun for a more comfortable living environment. He also pledged to sponsor the education of the late singer’s two daughters.
The statement, titled Ibraheem Adekunle Offers Housing, Scholarships to Late Toluwanisings’ Family, read in part, “Moved by concern over the living conditions of the elderly father, Dr. Luqman, who hails from Ikirun, Osun State, dispatched a team to the town today to meet with Mr Olayemi and communicate his commitment to supporting the family.”
It added, “As part of the humanitarian gesture, Dr. Luqman has offered to relocate the elderly man to decent accommodation within Ikirun, ensuring that he can live in a more comfortable and dignified environment.
“In addition, the APM senatorial candidate has pledged scholarships for the two children of the late gospel singer to support their education and help secure their future despite the loss of their father.”
In a video of the visit shared online, a member of Luqman’s delegation explained the purpose of their visit to Olayemi, telling him that the offer was intended to provide him with a more comfortable place to live and support his grandchildren’s education.
Toluwanisings d!ed in the early hours of October 14, 2026, in Ibadan, Oyo State, after reportedly slumping. His death generated public concern, with his personal assistant, Babadunni Gbolabo, alleging that efforts to obtain medical attention for the singer involved visits to several hospitals before he d!ed.
