Karuziika Palace Stripped Bare? Tooro Succession Drama Takes a Dark Turn.

A video circulating on social media appears to show Karuziika Palace being emptied, with curtains and other items being removed as Queen Mother Best Kemigisa reportedly gives way amid the ongoing Tooro succession dispute. And the images are striking. This is the palace that became synonymous with the reign of the late King Oyo. Yet instead of witnessing a smooth and dignified transition, Tooro is now dealing with a deeply contested succession and a divided royal family. One king has died. A successor has been announced. The royal family is divided. And now the palace itself is becoming part of the drama. This raises a painful question: Who is protecting King Oyo’s legacy? Here is the before and after of Karuziika Palace, followed by my commentary on what this extraordinary transition means for Tooro Kingdom.
