Abdul-Samed Sulemana, popularly known as Awuche and believed to be Ghana's tallest man, has died at the Tamale Teaching Hospital, weeks after Ibrahim Mahama pledged to cover his medical expenses during his battle with gigantism.
Awuche's condition reportedly worsened due to complications from gigantism, leading doctors to refer him from the Baptist Medical Centre (BMC) in Nalerigu to the Tamale Teaching Hospital for specialised care.
Confirming the assistance in a Facebook post, Rafik Mahama wrote: He added: Rafik Mahama also revealed that arrangements had been made to transport Awuche to the Tamale Teaching Hospital on Tuesday, July 8, 2026, where he arrived safely and began the required medical procedures.
