The uncle of late Nigerian gospel artist Toluwanisings, born Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, has appealed to the government, religious leaders, traditional rulers and Nigerians to help investigate the circumstances surrounding Sodiq’s death.
Speaking during an interview with Dunmininu, the family member said the death had caused the family significant pain and called for support in establishing the actual cause.
“We need the help of Nigeria because Sodiq’s death is hurting us. We need the help of important people, from the government down to religious leaders and traditionalists, to help us find out the true cause of his death. Please help us, we, the family of Olayeni,” he said.
He clarified that the family was actively seeking assistance with the investigation and urged people not to question whether they had made such efforts.
“Nobody should question if we have sent anyone to investigate. Yes, we are calling on everyone to help investigate because his death is painful to us,” he added.
The uncle further disclosed that the family had collectively decided to suspend burial arrangements until the circumstances surrounding Sodiq’s death were investigated.
“For this reason, nobody should plan to bury Sodiq because we are all very hurt, and the entire family has agreed to put his burial on hold,” he concluded.
