Amid a swirl of rumors on social media, the Tooro Kingdom’s official spokesperson clarified on Monday that King Oyo is currently in critical condition, not yet deceased. The royal palace confirmed that the monarch is receiving intensive medical care after a sudden health decline, and that reports of his death were premature. The spokesperson urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information and to respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time. A formal health update is expected later this week, and the kingdom has prepared contingency plans for the possible succession should the king’s condition worsen.
