ShareA local hospital in northern Ghana has reportedly measured the height of a 29-year-old man to be 9 feet 6 inches making him possibly the tallest man in the world, BBC reported.
Sulemana Abdul Samed during one of his recent check-ups was measured to be 2.89m by the hospital. However, the rural clinic could not be sure of his height because it did not have the correct measuring tools.
Diagnosed with "gigantism" a few years ago, the young man was attending a monthly appointment to deal with the complications of living as a giant when he was asked to stand straight against a measuring rod.
A shocked nurse told him, "You've grown taller than the scale." Better known to everyone by his nickname Awuche, which means "Let's Go" in Hausa, he found the hype centring him entertaining.
