Person
Awole
Awole was an Alaafin of the Oyo Empire in the late eighteenth century. His reign was marked by conflict with leading chiefs, including Afonja, the Are-Ona-Kakanfo at Ilorin. Rejected by his chiefs around 1796, he was obliged by custom to take his own life, and his fall began a period of rebellion that hastened Oyo's collapse.
