Tooro Kingdom has dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming that Omukama Rukirabasaija Dr. Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV is critically ill and admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in the United States.In a statement, Obukama bwa Tooro assured the public that the youthful monarch is in stable health and travelled abroad for official duties and further studies, not medical treatment as alleged.
The Kingdom urged people to ignore unverified rumours, saying false reports about the Omukama’s condition caused unnecessary anxiety among his subjects in Uganda and abroad.Officials emphasized that any updates concerning the King’s wellbeing and activities will only come through official Kingdom communication channels.
King Oyo, who became Omukama of Tooro in 1995 at just three years old following the death of his father, Omukama Patrick Matthew Kaboyo Olimi III, has since grown into his role as a cultural leader.Over the years, he has championed youth empowerment, education, tourism and development initiatives while representing Tooro Kingdom at national and international platforms.The Kingdom has now reassured the people of Tooro that their King is safe, healthy and continuing with his responsibilities while abroad.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
