Nigerian actor and model Afeez Oladimeji Agoro, popularly known as Nigeria’s tallest man, has been reported dead.
It was learned that Agoro was rushed to the hospital yesterday after he developed some complications.
Agoro’s death comes months after he solicited N5million for his chronic hip arthritis treatment.
His last post on Facebook was on May 28, after he recovered from a hip replacement.
He posted: “Thank God Almighty for a successful operation; now it’s time for therapy.”
Agoro went through the hip recovery process with his personal doctor, Dr. Dike.
Popular Nigerian blogger Seun Oloketuyi shared the news of Agoro’s death via his Instagram account on the morning of Thursday, June 15th, 2023.
Recall that the 47-year-old had solicited the money, saying it would help take care of his operation and therapy.
The late computer science graduate from the University of Lagos said the ailment was challenging and had left him bedridden for eight months.
The tallest man, who has a show called “I am Agoro,” airing exclusively on Linda Ikeji TV, disclosed that he will be unable to walk again and that getting the required operation would help him get back on his feet.
