A tragic incident occurred in Ghana recently when the bus carrying the first division team Berekum Chelsea was ambushed by masked assailants who opened fire. Dominic Frimpong, a 20-year-old striker, was shot in the head and succumbed to his injuries in the hospital.
The team was on their way back from Samartext when the attack happened. Despite the driver’s attempt to evade the attackers, they came under gunfire. Players and coaches fled into the surrounding bushes.
The motive behind the attack remains unknown. The Ghanaian football federation has vowed to discuss with the government ways to enhance security on club buses to prevent future occurrences. “This tragedy affects not only Berekum Chelsea but also the entirety of Ghanaian football,” officials stated. “Dominic was an exceptional talent.”
In 2023, a similar incident occurred in Legon City, though fortunately, no lives were lost.
