Ajagbo succeeded his grandfather Obalokun as Alaafin.[1] According to legend, he reigned for 140 years.[2] He was reportedly a twin.[2]
He was notable for introducing the title of Are ona Kakanfo (a role comparable to that of field marshal) in Oyo. He was also known by Oyo neighbours as a warlike king who sent armies to destroy towns in the Popo country, Ile Olopa and his maternal town Ikereku-were.
