Ghana’s football community is in grief following the tragic death of Berekum Chelsea player Dominic Frimpong, who lost his life after being shot during a robbery attack on the team’s bus.
The attack occurred on the Goaso–Bibiani road near Ahyiresu in the Ahafo Region, where armed robbers allegedly blocked the road and fired at the team’s vehicle. In the chaos, players and officials fled into nearby bushes to escape harm.
According to the club, Frimpong sustained critical gunshot wounds to the head and was rushed to the Bibiani Government Hospital for urgent medical attention. Although efforts were being made to transfer him to a better-equipped facility, he sadly passed away before that could happen.
The young footballer had joined Berekum Chelsea on loan from Aduana FC in January, with his contract set to run until the end of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.
He had quickly established himself as a key member of the squad, making 13 league appearances and scoring two goals, showing strong potential before his life was cut short.
The incident has sent shockwaves across Ghana football, raising fresh concerns over the safety of teams on the road, as authorities are expected to step up investigations into the deadly attack.
