Special arrangements were also made for Awuche to travel to Tamale today, July 8, 2026, where he has safely arrived and begun the necessary medical procedures at the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
At this stage, we kindly ask the public to continue keeping him in their prayers as he embarks on his treatment and recovery journey.
We wish Awuche a successful procedure, a smooth recovery, and a full return to good health”.
Meanwhile, a post by Facebooker Dokurugu Alhassan about the condition of Awuche read, “Awuche’s leg to be amputated – Ghana’s tallest man appeals for financial support
Abdul-Samed Sulemana, popularly known as “Awuche”, 33, believed to be the tallest man in Ghana at 7ft 8in, is struggling to survive after being diagnosed with gigantism some years ago.
Abdul-Samed is a native of Gambaga in the East Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region.
His condition has worsened. He was referred from Baptist Medical Centre (BMC) in Nalerigu to Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH), where doctors say his left leg must be amputated due to an infection that has caused part of it to rot.
Awuche said he was referred to TTH for the amputation, but he is currently in Gambaga due to financial challenges facing him and his family.
The family and other well-meaning Ghanaians have supported him before, but his condition has deteriorated. He is now appealing for financial support to undergo the leg amputation to prevent the infection from spreading to the rest of his body.
Awuche was not born with the condition. He said he just woke up one day and started experiencing abnormal growth – including enlargement of his legs and a hunched back.
He is appealing to the general public to assist him financially so doctors can successfully amputate the leg and help him regain his health. No amount is too small.
