The statement expressed regret, stating, “We are saddened to announce that the attempt to break the Guinness longest interview marathon record by Emmanuel Agyemang has been called off on medical grounds.”
His team’s statement also mentioned that Kaakyire Agyemang had broken the existing record by lasting 37 hours and 44 minutes. However, despite achieving this milestone, he was advised by doctors to cancel the show due to health concerns. The statement commended his efforts and determination, expressing hope for his speedy recovery and future attempts at breaking the record.
