Players and officials of Berekum Chelsea are receiving medical and psychological support after a violent armed robbery attack that left one of their teammates dead.

The club confirmed that the squad has safely returned to Berekum following the incident, which has sent shockwaves through Ghana’s football community.

Striker Dominic Frimpong was killed when six armed men reportedly opened fire on the team’s bus on 12 April along the Ahyiresu–Kwame Dwumor Sreso road.

In a statement, the club said players and staff are now undergoing medical checks and counselling to help them recover from the trauma.

“The team has since returned safely to Berekum and is currently undergoing medical evaluation and psychological support to aid recovery from the traumatic experience,” the statement said.

The team travelled back using a bus provided by fellow Ghana Premier League side Bibiani Gold Stars, in what has been described as a gesture of solidarity during a time of grief.

Club officials say the attack has had a profound impact not only on the players and staff but also on supporters and the wider football fraternity.

Meanwhile, a delegation representing the Ghana Police Service, led by the Bono Regional Police Commander, has visited the club to offer assurances that those responsible will be brought to justice.

Police say investigations into the attack are ongoing.
