Prophet remanded in prison for filming Toluwanisings’ corpse after failed attempt to resurrect him

Prophet Moses Idowu has been remanded in prison for recording the corpse of the late gospel musician, Toluwanisings.

Moses Idowu, who claimed to possess power to raise the singer shortly after his death, reportedly filmed his corpse at the morgue during his visit.

He was however arrested and arraigned by the Oyo State Police Command after his failed attempt to resurrect the singer.

Idowu was arraigned on four charges bordering on the unlawful filming and publication, indignity to a deceased human body, defamation and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.

The court ordered his remand in Correctional Centre and adjourned the case to December 2, 2026, for further proceedings.

The information was made public on Friday in a statement by the command spokesperson, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka.

Narrating the incident, the police said “In the course of the incident, the suspect recorded a video of the deceased’s body and subsequently circulated it online without the deceased’s family consent or authorisation, thereby subjecting the remains to indignity and causing further distress to the bereaved family.”
