Berekum Chelsea Confirm Armed Robbery Attack on Team Bus as Dominic Frimpong Dies

Berekum Chelsea have confirmed that their team bus was attacked by armed robbers in a shocking incident that resulted in the death of player Dominic Frimpong.

The attack reportedly took place while the team was returning to Berekum from Samreboi, when suspected robbers blocked the road and opened fire on the vehicle, forcing players and officials to flee for safety.

In an official statement released on Monday, the club recounted the frightening experience:

On our way back to Berekum from Samreboi our team bus was attacked by a group of armed robbers who blocked the road to prevent our passage.

Masked men wielding guns and assault rifles started shooting at our bus as the driver tried to reverse. The players and staff fled into nearby bushes to take cover.

Unfortunately one of our players is badly injured and is receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital waiting to be transferred to the regional hospital.

We are grateful to the police patrol team for its rapid response, sports journalists who quickly decimated the information, the town of Ashiresu which provided temporary shelter for our players and officials of Bibiani Gold Stars who have offered tremendous support.
