Berekum Chelsea forward Dominic Frimpong has been confirmed dead following a violent armed robbery attack on the club’s team bus on the Bibiani–Goaso road at Ahyiresu.
The incident occurred on Sunday as the team returned to Berekum after their Ghana Premier League Matchday fixture against FC Samartex at DUN’s Park, a game they lost 1–0.
According to the club, the bus was ambushed by armed men who blocked the road, forcing players and officials to abandon the vehicle and flee into nearby bushes for safety.
Several members of the team sustained injuries during the chaos.
Frimpong, 20, was shot in the head during the attack. He was rushed to the Bibiani Government Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
The Ghana Police Service has launched a manhunt for the attackers, while efforts are underway to account for players and officials who are still unaccounted for following the incident.
Frimpong joined Berekum Chelsea on loan from Aduana FC in January, a move that was set to run until the end of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.
He scored two goals in 13 league appearances before his tragic death.
