The tallest man in Nigeria, Afeez Agoro Oladimeji, has reportedly passed away at the age of 48 after suffering a prolonged ailment.
Afeez, who stood at 7 feet 4 inches (2.24m), was the second tallest human in West Africa before his tragic passing on Wednesday evening June 14, after a long battle with Acromegaly, known commonly as gigantism.
He had reportedly been bedridden for months due to chronic hip arthritis, and developed severe complications last night.
The UNILAG graduate, who studied Computer Science, was rushed to Lagos University Teaching Hospital for urgent treatment, but he sadly passed away around 7:30pm.
May his soul rest in peace!
