When Princess Elizabeth Bagaaya of Tooro appeared in the movie, SHEENA, Queen of the Jungle in 1984.
It was the first major Hollywood movie shot entirely in East Africa
The Princess and Auntie to the late King Oyo is 90 years now.
President Museveni escorting the late King’s mother, Best Kemigisa, her sister Ruth Nsemere Komuntale, and Princess Elizabeth Bagaaya to board the plane that was carrying the King’s body to Kyegegwa.
Today, I received the body of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at Entebbe International Airport.
The Queen Mother first informed me of his illness in November 2025, and we supported efforts to secure specialised treatment for him in Germany and later in the United States. Unfortunately, he died.
Throughout his reign as King of Tooro, Oyo was a good person and a good leader. His passing is a great loss to the people of Tooro and Uganda.
I encourage the people of Tooro to remain calm and avoid disorganisation, even in this difficult time.
May the Lord grant him eternal rest. Amen.
We honour honour a life whose sense of duty and dedication will remain woven into the story of our nation.
Rest in peace Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV 🕊️👑🇺🇬
When we were making this book, he insisted he would write the Foreword himself! He read through the book, sent a draft and asked us to edit. He has always been special. He loved nature, he loved tourism. May you rest in peace king Oyo!
He waited for the body for two hours, escorted the mom to the chopper then sat and waited until it left……. He cried. Few will understand his pain. A true father
President Museveni literally waited for the late King’s remains at the airport for over an hour plus.
The real heart of a parent , a god father , and a true friend of Tooro Kingdom.
Rip King Oyo😭🙏🏾
This is when the reality checks in😭😭
A Nation Mourns Its King
As dignitaries assemble before King Oyo’s casket, they pay their last respects to a monarch whose impact and legacy will be remembered by generations | #RIPKingOyo
This was a tough day for Uganda.
The President - a constant father figure in King Oyo’s life - was at the airport to receive the Tooro’s beloved monarch.
