FORT PORTAL, UGANDA — The people of Tooro Kingdom are mourning the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, the Omukama of Tooro Kingdom.
His passing marks the end of a historic reign that began in 1995, when King Oyo ascended the throne at just three years old. Over the years, he grew from a child monarch into one of Uganda’s most prominent traditional leaders.
The news has sent a wave of grief across Tooro and beyond, with messages of condolence being shared by his subjects, leaders, friends and well-wishers.

At this difficult moment, our thoughts and prayers are with the royal family, the Tooro Kingdom, and everyone mourning the loss of His Majesty.
May His Majesty’s soul rest in eternal peace. 🕊️
Our deepest condolences to the people of Tooro Kingdom and the royal family.
