The Tooro Kingdom has confirmed that Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV is currently abroad for official engagements and to further his studies, moving to reassure the public after false and misleading reports about his health began circulating.In a statement issued on 3rd August 2026 from Fort Portal, the Kingdom said it wished to reassure all its people that His Majesty is in good health, directly addressing the rumours that had been making rounds about his wellbeing.The statement, signed off with “Omukama Ahangirize,” described the circulating reports as false and misleading, and called on the people of Tooro and friends of the Kingdom to reject malicious rumours and defamatory misinformation, noting that false information causes unnecessary anxiety and undermines public trust without serving anyone’s interest.The Kingdom reaffirmed its commitment to keeping the public informed through timely, accurate, and official communication on matters of public interest, and urged everyone to rely only on information released through the Kingdom’s official channels going forward.King Oyo, who ascended to the Tooro throne as a young child, has continued to pursue his education even while serving as monarch, a path that has periodically taken him abroad for studies alongside his official royal duties. The Kingdom’s latest statement confirms that his current time away from Fort Portal fits that same pattern, official engagements combined with academic pursuits, rather than anything tied to his health.The Kingdom closed its statement by calling for unity and responsible communication among its people as it continues its development agenda.The post Tooro Kingdom Confirms King Oyo Is Abroad Pursuing Further Studies was written by the awesome team at Campus Bee.
