Who Was Chief Charles Olumo
Agbako, who was well-known for being amiable, served as a mentor to numerous aspiring performers. Among those who looked up to him for guidance and inspiration were well-known performers Mama Rainbow, Foluke Daramola, and Kunle Afod, with whom he maintained close connections.
Agbako responded to rumors in 2015 about his relationship with Wasiu Alabi Odetola, also known as Pasuma, a famed musician from Fuji. He explained that when the Fuji star was only a toddler, he dated Pasuma’s mother, Alhaja Adijat Kuburat Odetola. Agbako remembered that he used to joke that he was Pasuma’s father since his ex-girlfriend would frequently bring her son to the movie set.
Although he was raised as a Muslim, Agbako embraced aspects of Christianity at one point, which was influenced by his participation in church dramas and his family. He ultimately returned to Islam and even went on pilgrimage to Mecca, yet he maintained respect for both faiths.
