Ghana’s strength sports community has been thrown into mourning following the reported death of Godfred Akobila, winner of the 2023 Ghana’s Strongest competition.
The news of Akobila’s passing was announced on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, sending shockwaves among fans.
He reportedly passed on after a brief health battle.
Akobila, who rose to prominence through his impressive displays of power and endurance, achieved a long-awaited dream when he was crowned Ghana’s Strongest champion in 2023 after years of competing in the contest.
His journey to the top was marked by persistence and resilience. He first entered the competition in 2015, but his initial attempt ended without qualification.
He returned stronger the following year, making it to the quarter-finals in 2016, and continued competing in subsequent editions before finally claiming the coveted title.
Tributes have since poured in from fans, colleagues and followers of the competition, who have described him as a symbol of hard work and determination.
Details surrounding his death are yet to be confirmed.
