Ghana mourns its tallest man

  • Sulemana Abdul Samed, known as Awuche and Ghana's tallest man at 7ft 4in, died at 33 in Tamale Teaching Hospital due to complications linked to Marfan syndrome.
  • Awuche's rapid growth began at age 22 due to Marfan syndrome, which caused his limbs to grow unusually long and led him to return to his hometown Gambaga after leaving Accra.
  • Businessman Ibrahim Mahama, brother of Ghana's President, supported Awuche's medical bills during his treatment at Tamale Teaching Hospital.
  • Awuche was a well-known local celebrity whose height brought recognition to Gambaga, and his family chose to bury him in Tamale to manage the expected number of mourners.
