Babadunni Gbolabo, personal assistant to late gospel singer Toluwanisings, has alleged that the artiste was denied medical attention at up to eight hospitals in Ibadan, Oyo State, after suddenly collapsing.
Gbolabo said that frantic efforts to save the singer were unsuccessful, with some hospitals reportedly citing a strike and others allegedly refusing to admit him.
According to him, the singer had appeared healthy before the sudden collapse, prompting those around him to seek emergency medical assistance.

Toluwanisings, whose real name was Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, was known for gospel songs including A Very Big God and Onibuore.
He performed at a worship event on Tuesday before his family confirmed his death on Wednesday night.
