Plans for the burial of late gospel singer Bunmi Akinnaanu, popularly known as Omije Ojumi, have been officially called off.

The announcement was made by her colleague, Lanre Alewilese, through an Instagram post. Speaking on behalf of the burial planning committee, Alewilese disclosed that the decision was taken due to unresolved issues and internal crises within the singer’s family.

He apologised to well-wishers and supporters who had been preparing to attend the burial, describing the situation as unfortunate but unavoidable.

In his words, *“This is to inform the general public that all burial arrangements for our late sister and colleague, Bunmi Akinnaanu, have been cancelled due to issues arising within her family. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.”*

It would be recalled that the committee had earlier announced that Omije Ojumi was to be laid to rest on Wednesday, January 20, 2026. However, the fresh development has now put the plans on hold indefinitely.
