Nana Frimpong alleges Berekum Chelsea sacrificed late son Dominic

Nana Frimpong, the father of the late Berekum Chelsea player Dominic Frimpong, has publicly challenged the official account of his son’s death, alleging that the footballer was sacrificed by the club. While official reports at the time stated that Dominic Frimpong died from a gunshot wound during a highway robbery involving the team bus, his father claims his own observations of the body suggest a different and more sinister narrative.

In an interview with Fakye TV, Nana Frimpong asserted that he found no physical evidence of a gunshot wound on his son's remains. This discrepancy led him to believe that the robbery story was a cover for a ritual sacrifice. He specifically alleged that the club orchestrated the act as a spiritual intervention to ensure their survival in the league, stating, "My son was sacrificed by the team to avoid relegation."

The death of Dominic Frimpong occurred during a period where the team was reportedly struggling to maintain its position in the top flight of Ghanaian football. Allegations regarding the use of spiritual or ritualistic practices are occasionally discussed in the periphery of local football, but they are rarely backed by such direct public accusations from a family member. Nana Frimpong’s claims have sparked debate among the sporting community, raising questions about the internal culture of professional clubs and the pressures of competition.

As of now, Berekum Chelsea has not issued a formal rebuttal to these specific allegations. The father’s testimony adds a layer of controversy to a tragic event that had previously been categorized as a result of the insecurity on Ghanaian roads. The grieving father continues to call for further scrutiny into the circumstances surrounding the loss of his son, seeking what he describes as the true story behind the tragedy.
