Thursday, October 29, 2026 - Media personality, Dotun has condemned the practice of burying deceased individuals within residential buildings, labeling it “archaic and primitive.”
Dotun
made his stance known amid an ongoing family dispute surrounding the burial of
the late gospel singer, Toluwanisings. The singer's widow, Elizabeth, is
reportedly at loggerheads with her in-laws over his final resting place. While
she insists on a cemetery burial, the late singer’s paternal family strongly
demands that he be buried inside the house he built before his demise.
The situation
has triggered a wider debate among Nigerians on social media. While some
support the family’s traditional stance, others argue that burying a body on
the property significantly depreciates the economic value of the house and
makes it unlivable for future tenants or buyers. Joining the faction against
the family's wishes, Dotun publicly knocked the tradition, maintaining that
residential homes should not double as burial grounds in modern times.
