Several tenants in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region have reportedly been left stranded after their landlord allegedly sold a compound house without any notice.
In a viral video circulating on social media, distraught tenants were seen moving their belongings out of their rooms while security personnel monitored the situation.
According to reports, the securities were sent to the compound to ensure the occupants vacated the premises to make way for the new owner.
