NGGhana's tallest man, Sulemana Abdul Samed, known as Awuche, has died at the age of 33. He was admitted to Tamale Teaching Hospital with infected sores on his legs and passed away despite showing improvement in his treatment. Diagnosed with Marfan syndrome in his 20s, Awuche stood 7ft 4in (223cm) according to BBC measurements in 2022, though he may have grown taller before his death. His condition led to various health complications, including difficulty breathing and the need for financial assistance from businessman Ibrahim Mahama. Awuche became a local celebrity in northern Ghana, giving his hometown of Gambaga international recognition. His death has sparked widespread mourning, with family members describing him as generous and beloved.
