Sir Olateru Olagbegi II(1910- 1998) the Olowo of Owo during a photo shoot in 1959.



Olagbegi was a prominent Yoruba Traditional ruler that reigned from 1941- 1968 and later between 1993 - 1998. His reign was interrupted and he was exiled due to a fallout during the Regional crisis between the two Action Group leaders: Obafemi Awolowo and Samuel Ladoke Akintola.
