Players of Berekum Chelsea have safely returned to their base in Berekum, a day after surviving a deadly armed robbery attack that claimed the life of their teammate, Dominic Frimpong.

The team was ambushed on Sunday, April 12, 2026, while travelling back from a Ghana Premier League fixture against Samartex. Armed men reportedly blocked the road and opened fire on the team bus, forcing players and officials to flee into nearby bushes in a desperate attempt to escape the gunfire.

Tragically, 20-year-old forward Dominic Frimpong was struck during the chaos and later died from his injuries in hospital, becoming the only confirmed fatality from the incident.
