The Oyo State Police Command has arraigned two men, Prophet Moses Idowu and journalist Oladapo Joshua Dunminimnun, over alleged false publications, defamatory statements and actions capable of causing a breach of public peace following the death of gospel singer Olayemi Bayonle Bolaji, popularly known as Toluwanisings.
Prophet Moses Idowu was arrested after allegedly visiting the morgue where the singer’s corpse was kept, claiming he possessed spiritual powers to resurrect the deceased.
He reportedly recorded a video of the body and circulated it on social media without the consent or authorisation of the family.
The pastor also allegedly published accusations that the singer’s wife, Mrs Olayemi Elizabeth Damilola, and his manager were responsible for his death, without providing evidence to support the claims.
He was arraigned on four counts, including unlawful recording and publication of the deceased’s image, defamatory publications and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
The court ordered that he be remanded at the Correctional Centre and adjourned the case until December 2, 2026.
