Dominic Frimpong, who joined Berekum Chelsea on loan from FC Aduana in January of this year, was previously on the books of Attram DeVisser until he departed in July 2025.
Frimpong was allegedly shot when the Chelsea team bus came under armed robbery on Sunday, April 12. The heart-wrenching incident reportedly happened on the Bibiani-Goaso road as the 2011 Ghana Premier League (GPL) champions were returning from a Week 29 GPL match against FC Samartex.
According to KickGH, the 20-year-old was transported to the Goaso government hospital, where he was pronounced dead, adding to Chelsea's woes following their 1-0 loss to Samartex in Samreboi, as Flashscore indicated.
