‘We Learnt of His Death on Instagram’: Toluwanisings’ Family Demands Answers Over Mysterious Circumstances

 

A family dispute has erupted following the death of a young man identified as Sodiq, popularly known as Toluwanisings, after his relatives raised serious questions about the circumstances surrounding his death and how they were informed of the tragedy.

 

The deceased’s family, through a statement by a man who identified himself as the younger brother of Sodiq’s father, accused members of his wife’s household of failing to notify his biological family about his death before information about the incident surfaced on social media.

 

The family representative said five relatives travelled to the deceased’s residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, following the news of his death, expecting to meet a grieving household.

 

However, he claimed that what they encountered at the residence left them deeply disturbed.

 

According to his account, there was no visible atmosphere of mourning, as people were allegedly moving around with food and takeaways while others watched television.

 

He said he personally demanded that the television be switched off, questioning what he described as a lack of respect for the deceased.

 

The family representative further alleged that when he asked Sodiq’s wife whether she recognised the five people who had visited, she said she knew only two of them.

 

He described the response as another source of concern, considering that the visitors were relatives sent by the deceased’s family.

 

The controversy reportedly intensified when the relatives requested that the deceased’s personal assistant (PA) take them to the mortuary where his body had been embalmed.

 

According to the uncle, they initially encountered resistance, alleging that attempts were made to prevent them from accessing the deceased’s remains.

 

He said he eventually contacted the family elders who had sent them to report the development and seek further instructions, insisting that their mandate was to see the body of their deceased son.

 

The uncle claimed that the PA eventually agreed to take them to the mortuary after it became apparent that the family would not abandon its demand.

 

He described seeing Sodiq’s lifeless body as an emotionally devastating experience, saying the reality of his death finally became clear to the visiting relatives.

 

The family representative also disclosed that he confronted the deceased’s wife with questions about her relationship with Sodiq’s biological father.

 

He claimed that she confirmed having met her father-in-law but could not explain why she had allegedly failed to check on him.

 

According to the statement, she also said she did not know where her father-in-law lived.

 

The uncle further questioned why the deceased’s biological family allegedly learnt about his death through Instagram rather than receiving a direct telephone call from his wife.

 

He described the response to the question as silence.

 

The family representative also said he spoke with the wife’s mother, who reportedly disclosed that they were from Iwo, Osun State.

 

He alleged that the wife’s mother and her siblings were living in the same house with Sodiq, yet his biological father was not informed about his son’s death before the information became public.

 

The uncle further accused members of the household of attempting to secretly record the family during their visit.

 

He said the development added to the family’s concerns, particularly as they were seeking explanations about the circumstances surrounding the death of their son and brother.

 

Describing the experience as painful and unacceptable, he insisted that the family would not remain silent until the issues surrounding the incident were addressed.

 

He called for justice, transparency and respect for the deceased, stressing that no family should have to discover the death of its son through social media when close relatives could have been contacted directly.

 

The statement ended with renewed calls for answers under the hashtags #JusticeForToluwanisings and #JusticeForSodiq.

 

As of the time of filing this report, the allegations made by the deceased’s relatives had not been independently verified. The account of the wife and other members of her household was also not contained in the statement.

 

The circumstances surrounding Sodiq’s death, including the events preceding it and the reason his biological family allegedly did not receive prompt notification, remain issues requiring clarification.

 

Newstrends.ng will continue to follow developments surrounding the controversy and any response from the deceased’s wife, her family or relevant authorities.
