According to a UTV reporter who narrated the incident, the deceased and about three accomplices visited a wooden motor rewinding shop in the area at night to steal some items. It is unclear how they had access to the building because there were no signs of forced entry around the structure.

It is suspected that the owner of the shop may have been robbed before and thus set up a system to deter robbery. When Frimpong forced his way through a crack beneath the main entrance, he was reportedly electrocuted instantly. It is however unknown what exactly caused the electrocution.
