Olimi I

Olimi was the first king of the Tooro Kingdom in Uganda. The son of Rukirabasaija Agutamba Nyamutukura Kyebambe III, the king of Bunyoro-Kitara kingdom, Olimi rebelled against his father and formed his own kingdom at Kaboyo during his father’s lifetime, beginning in 1822. He also spurned the succession to Bunyoro-Kitara on his father’s death.
