Ghanaian Woman Based In America Built Huge Mansion In Kumasi, Never Stayed In It Till She Died
Internet users are responding to the tragic tale of a Ghanaian woman who, while living in the US, built a home in Kumasi but could never move into it before she passed unexpectedly. The late Patricia Serwaa Akoto allegedly constructed the home in Atasamanso, Kumasi, but she could never dwell there, not even for a day. She passed away in the hospital after undergoing surgery.
According to a video posted on TikTok by @maaueg, Patricia Akoto purchased furniture for the home from Dubai. She thus resided at a hotel upon her arrival in Ghana while she awaited the furnishing of the house.
