Today is the 94th birthday of veteran actor, Alhaji Abudulsalam Sanyaolu better known as Charles Olumo or Agbako.
One of the first set of film actors in the Nigerian movie scene, Abeokuta born Charles Olumo started his career in a church in his native town before hitting the mainstream. He was known for his radical and rascally mode of acting which earned him a cliche as a villain in his early days of acting.
With colleagues like Hubert Ogunde, Duro Ladipo, Baba Sala, Oyin Adejobi amongst others, Charles Olumo is one of the living legends from the old order of filmmakers and actors.
