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

Prophet Moses Idowu has been remanded in a correctional facility for allegedly recording the corpse of late gospel musician Toluwanisings at a morgue.

Idowu had reportedly claimed that he possessed the power to bring the singer back to life shortly after his death. During a visit to the morgue, he allegedly recorded a video of the deceased’s body.

Following the incident, the Oyo State Police Command arrested him and brought him before a court after his reported attempt to resurrect the musician failed.

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

The court ordered that Idowu be remanded in a Correctional Centre and adjourned the case until December 2, 2026, for further proceedings.

The development was disclosed on Friday in a statement issued by the police command’s spokesperson, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka.
