BEREKUM CHELSEA PRO REJECTS ALLEGATIONS LINKING CLUB TO DOMINIC FRIMPONG’S DEATH

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Berekum Chelsea FC, Kwame Obeng Isaac, has rejected allegations made by Nana Frimpong, father of the late Dominic Frimpong, that the club was involved in his son’s death for alleged ritual purposes. According to Kwame Obeng Isaac, there is no truth in the allegations against Berekum Chelsea. He said he personally attended Dominic Frimpong’s funeral, together with members of the technical team, management board, supporters and some of the club’s players. He maintained that the club showed its support to the bereaved family throughout the difficult period. He further explained that the Bibiani Police arrested two suspected armed robbers, with one of them allegedly confirming his involvement in the robbery. He added that Berekum Chelsea handed Dominic Frimpong’s bag and mobile phone over to the police to assist with investigations. Kwame Obeng Isaac said that if Nana Frimpong is still not convinced by the circumstances surrounding his son’s death, he has the right to take the matter to court, stressing that Berekum Chelsea is prepared to cooperate with the judicial process because the club is not above the law. The Berekum Chelsea PRO also stated that the matter remains in the hands of the police following the post-mortem examination. He claimed that Nana Frimpong had not yet visited the police station to follow up on the case. He added that representatives of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) attended the funeral, while several Berekum Chelsea players reportedly sustained minor injuries during the incident. Kwame Obeng Isaac said the allegations had damaged the reputation of Berekum Chelsea FC. He also stated that if Nana Frimpong believes he can seek spiritual revenge over his son’s death, that would be his personal decision. He made these remarks during an interview with Paul Napoleon Agyeman, host of Scoreboard.
