Oluyole

Chief Oluyole (fl. c. mid-1800s CE) was a leader and military commander from the Oyo empire.^[1] He rose to fame as Bashorun, a title he subsequently made famous, and was one of the leaders who contributed immensely to the military and economic development of Ibadan (the Oyo empire's capital) during the city's formative years, a period which had its share of tumult and uncertainty.^[1]^[2]

He was born in Old Oyo^[3] to the polygamous family of Olukuoye by Omoba Agbonrin, a daughter of the Alaafin Abiodun.
