Contrary to earlier reports of the monarch’s death, the Tooro Kingdom’s official spokesperson confirmed that King Oyo Nyimba Iguru is currently in critical condition at a private medical facility in Kampala. The palace released a statement saying the king suffered a severe cardiac event late Tuesday night and is receiving intensive care. While rumors of his death have spread across social media, the royal household is asking the public to refrain from speculation until a formal medical update is provided. The kingdom’s council of elders has convened an emergency meeting to discuss succession protocols should the king’s condition worsen, emphasizing the importance of stability and continuity for the Tooro people.
