Renowned gospel comedians Ayobami Ajewole (popularly known as Woli Agba) and Olamide Oladimeji (Dele Omo Woli) have threatened swift legal action against social media users, bloggers, and online outlets circulating defamatory allegations linking them to the tragic death of gospel minister Olayemi Bayonile Bolaji, known professionally as Toluwanisings.
In a public legal notice issued by their legal team, Gemgold Solicitors, and shared on official social media handles on Sunday, October 25, 2026, the duo described the allegations as false, unfounded, and maliciously orchestrated to damage their hard-earned professional reputations.
The legal notice warned members of the public, content creators, and media publishers to immediately cease and desist from publishing, sharing, or amplifying unverified claims connecting the entertainers to the late gospel singer's demise.
The legal notice categorized the online posts as severe defamation and demanded the immediate removal of all such content across digital platforms:
The law firm clarified that liability extends equally to individuals who forward, endorse, or repost defamatory material from anonymous or untraceable accounts.
The legal directive follows similar enforcement steps taken by other prominent gospel figures after online broadcasts falsely implicated several industry leaders in ritualistic practices following Toluwanisings' death:
Tope Alabi Legal Notice: Popular gospel minister Tope Alabi recently served a cease-and-desist notice to online creators over defamatory allegations accusing her of ritualistic involvement in the deaths of colleagues.
Defending Crew Members: Woli Agba had previously defended Dele Omo Woli after critics attacked a video of Dele weeping at Toluwanisings' funeral, clarifying that the emotion displayed was genuine grief for a departed friend and colleague.
Counsel to the entertainers emphasized that while the notice does not restrict lawful freedom of expression or fair comment on public interest matters, any malicious statements targeted at defaming their clients will be prosecuted to the full extent of Nigerian law.
