We join the people of the Tooro Kingdom and the entire nation in mourning the passing of His Majesty Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.
His legacy and service will continue to inspire generations.
🚨🔴⚪️ THE WORLD’S YOUNGEST REIGNING MONARCH WAS A GUNNER 👑❤️
Uganda is mourning the passing of King Oyo, who died on 27 August 2026.
Crowned King at just three years old in 1995, King Oyo became the world’s youngest reigning monarch and went on to lead the Tooro Kingdom for 31 years.
He was also a proud Arsenal supporter, making his passing especially painful for the Ugandan Gunners. ❤️🤍
We have been informed that King Oyo had donated land for a school where registered Ugandan Arsenal fans would have been able to send their children for free education. Sadly, the project had not yet commenced before his passing.
A King. A Gunner. 👑❤️🤍
We mourn with the Ugandan Arsenal community and all those grieving his loss.
🕊️ May His Majesty rest in eternal peace.

Losing a loved one is something that never heals
First few days, you go to sleep and think they will be back when you wake up
Pain stays with you forever .... you just learn to live with it everyday
May God strengthen the family of the King in these trying times.
#RIPKingOyo
The flags at our Party Headquarters are flying at half-mast as we mourn, together with the people of Tooro Kingdom, the painful loss of His Majesty Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV. May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory always be a blessing.
He was simply a man(king) who never imposed himself on anyone. He never seemed rushed by anything; not his culture, not this country’s politics or the demands of his kingship.
He walked through life like he knew his purpose and would accomplish it without causing any harm.
