He reportedly experienced persistent headaches and breathing difficulties after the incident. Subsequent hospital examinations revealed additional internal injuries, according to reports.

The singer later received further medical treatment and was placed in a medically induced coma.

The reported loss of Toluwanisings has sparked concern among supporters, while further details about the circumstances remain unavailable.
