‘I wasn’t born tall, I woke up one day and it happened”- Ghana’s Tallest Man shares his story. (video)

Abdul-Samed, Ghana’s tallest man, is just 27 years old, but many people confuse him for someone in his forties. Abdul is from Gambaga, which is part of the East Mamprusi Municipal Assembly in Ghana’s North East Region.

The 27-year-old shared his story with Joy News, claiming that he was not born this tall and that it came out of nowhere. He went to bed only to wake up the next day with all of his body parts, including his tongue, enlarging to the point that it was impossible for him to breathe. His feet had become so large that they no longer fit into his shoes.
