CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe mourns tragic death of Berekum Chelsea star Dominic Frimpong
The promising 20-year-old footballer painfully lost his life when the team bus was attacked while returning from a Ghana Premier League fixture.
In an official letter addressed to Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association, Dr. Motsepe conveyed his deep sorrow over the devastating loss.
According to him, “It is with profound sadness that I learned of the armed robbery attack on the bus of Berekum Chelsea, returning from a Ghana Premier League fixture, which claimed the life of a 20-year-old winger Dominic Frimpong.”
The CAF President went on to express condolences on behalf of both himself and the continental football body, recognising the pain felt by all those connected to the young player.
“Please pass my personal and CAF’s deepest condolences to the family, friends and teammates of Dominic Frimpong and to the Ghana Football Association,” he noted.
In a message filled with compassion and solidarity, Dr. Motsepe offered prayers and support to the bereaved and the wider Ghanaian football community.
He added, “May God comfort and console his loved ones and the entire Ghanaian football community. CAF is with you during this sad and painful period.”
According to the GFA, it remains in constant communication with the club and relevant authorities, including the Ghana Police Service, as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Authorities are being urged to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Private legal practitioner, Lawyer Agyei Baffuor, has broken his silence on his confrontation with a woman who identified herself as an official of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Speaking during the Minority’s engagement with the media on Wednesday, the lawyer said his decision not to comply with the woman’s directive was driven purely by fear for his personal safety.
According to him, the circumstances under which the woman approached him were suspicious, leading him to believe it could have been a kidnapping attempt.
“I refused to follow the woman who identified herself as an EOCO official because, I feared she wanted to kidnap me,” Lawyer Baffuor told journalists.
He explained that the said official failed to properly identify herself in a manner that would assure him of his safety, and as such, he deemed it prudent not to follow her.
Lawyer Baffuor maintained that any law-abiding citizen would have acted in the same manner under similar circumstances, stressing that his action was not intended to obstruct justice but to protect his life.
The Minority, during the press engagement, called on security agencies to ensure that officials on lawful duties properly identify themselves and follow due process to avoid creating fear and panic among citizens.
