Singer Survived Ghastly Accident in July
The development comes about three months after Toluwanisings and members of his crew survived a serious road accident involving their band’s bus and a fully loaded trailer.
The accident occurred on July 11, 2026, as the team was returning from a gospel ministration.
Following the incident, the singer shared pictures of the damaged vehicle on social media and expressed gratitude to God for preserving their lives.
He attributed their survival to divine intervention, writing that “when the enemy came like a flood, the spirit of the Lord raised a standard against them”.
However, there is no confirmed information linking the earlier accident to the singer’s reported death.
Further details about the circumstances surrounding his death are awaited.
