'He means everything to me' - Mother of slain Berekum Chelsea player

The mother of Dominic Frimpong, the slain Berekum Chelsea footballer, is struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss of her 20-year-old son, whom she described as the pillar of the household.

Speaking in an interview with Channel One TV on Monday, April 13, 2026, she said Dominic was the family’s main source of support.

Through his football career, he worked tirelessly to provide for them and build a better future.

“He means everything to me. He was my firstborn, and we did almost everything together, including making decisions. He is very respectful and avoids conflict, something anyone can testify to. Although he is grown, he always listens whenever I advise or caution him,” she recounted.

Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Police Command has launched a manhunt for armed robbers who attacked the Berekum Chelsea team bus, killing player Dominic Frimpong.

In a statement issued on April 13, 2026, police said the incident occurred on April 12, 2026, at about 10:30 p.m. along the Ahyiresu-Kwame Dwumor Sreso (KDS) road in the Nyinahin District.

According to police, a VIP bus carrying about 30 players and officials of the team was attacked by six armed men, three of whom were wielding pump-action guns.

The driver reportedly attempted to escape but lost control, causing the vehicle to veer into the bush.

During the attack, Frimpong sustained gunshot injuries and was rushed to the Bibiani Government Hospital, where he later died.
