Popular comedians Ayobami Ajewole, aka Woli Agba, and Olamide Oladimeji, known as Dele Omo Woli, have threatened legal action against people linking them to the death of gospel singer Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.
The entertainers, through their lawyers, warned that those spreading the allegations could face lawsuits and claims for substantial damages, describing the publications as false, malicious and damaging to their reputations.
The dispute comes amid a wider controversy over Toluwanisings’ death, with gospel singer Tope Alabi also caught up in allegations circulated online by a cleric.
A prophet identified in reports as Pastor Tayo Kumuyi, who operates the Facebook page Pastor Tayo Ministries, reportedly made allegations linking Alabi and other gospel personalities to the singer’s death. The claims have not been established as facts, and no verified evidence has been presented to substantiate them.
Alabi has also been reported to have taken legal steps against the pastor over the allegations, demanding that the disputed publications be withdrawn and an apology issued.
Woli Agba disclosed the latest legal threat on Sunday in a public notice shared on his Instagram page.
The notice, dated October 23, 2026, was issued by Gemgold Solicitors, the law firm representing the two comedians.
Their lawyers said their clients had been subjected to defamatory publications and online broadcasts allegedly intended to tarnish their reputations, expose them to public ridicule and incite hostility against them.
They firmly denied the claims linking the entertainers to Toluwanisings’ death, describing them as baseless and unsupported.
The solicitors warned that anyone who originated, published, forwarded or endorsed the allegations could face legal consequences, including users who shared the content from anonymous or untraceable accounts.
They urged social media users, bloggers and media platforms to stop circulating the claims and remove any disputed material already published on their pages.
The lawyers further warned that anyone who continued to spread the allegations could face legal proceedings seeking substantial damages and court orders restraining further publication.
They also called on the public to verify information before sharing it, stressing that individuals could be held accountable for defamatory material they republished.
The legal threat adds another dimension to the growing controversy surrounding Toluwanisings’ death, as allegations against prominent gospel figures continue to circulate online.
Neither the circulation of the allegations nor the legal threats establish that any of the personalities named had a role in the singer’s death.
