Ghana Footballer Dominic Frimpong Killed in Armed Attack on Team Bus

Ghana Premier League footballer Dominic Frimpong has been killed following a deadly armed robbery attack on his team’s bus, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed.

The incident occurred on Sunday as Berekum Chelsea returned from an away fixture against Samartex in Samreboi, southern Ghana.

According to club statements and police accounts, masked armed men blocked the road and opened fire on the bus as it attempted to reverse, forcing players and staff to flee into nearby bushes for safety.

Frimpong, a 20-year-old winger, was struck during the attack and later died from his injuries at a nearby hospital.

The Ghana Football Association expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy, describing Frimpong as a “promising young talent whose dedication and passion for the game embodied the spirit of our league.”

Authorities say investigations have begun, with security forces deployed to track down the attackers and strengthen safety measures for team travel across the league.

The incident has sent shockwaves through Ghanaian football, with clubs, officials, and fans mourning the loss of the young player and calling for improved security during domestic competitions.
