“A day before we went to Ada, he [Castro] came to my house and said he was on his way to Kumasi and would not join us. But whilst we were on our way to Ada, on the Accra-Tema motorway, we received a phone call that ‘Unde’ [Castro] wants us to wait for him.

“We parked at a fuel station where a crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of me. I later got the inclination it was destined to happen because he was initially not part of the trip. When we got to Ada, everything went fine. We were to spend three days, but ended up using the Jet Ski on the second day.”

By the Laws of Ghana, Castro and Miss Janet Bandu can only be declared legally dead by a court after seven years.

According to The Evidence Act of 1975, Section 33, a person can only be declared legally dead after seven years by a court, where the person in question has not been seen or heard from in seven years despite diligent and persistent efforts to find him.

Castro De Destroyer, real name, Theophilus Tagoe, was born in 1982. His debut album, Sradenam, released in 2003, shot him to public prominence and he followed up with subsequent hit albums including ‘Toffee’, ‘Comm Centre’ and ‘African Girls’.

He earned the accolade, ‘The Destroyer’ which was attached to his Showbiz name because most of his songs became instant hits.

He was also called 50 Cent by close pals due to his striking resemblance to American rapper and artiste, 50 Cent.

Castro endeared himself to many with the release of ‘OdoPa’ which featured Asamoah Gyan and Kofi Kinaata.

In the year 2006, he won the Hiplife Artiste of the Year as well as the Hiplife Album of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards with his song ‘Toffee.’

At the 2011 Ghana Music Awards, he won the Best Hiplife Song of the Year which featured Asamoah Gyan with the song ‘African Girls.’

A number of colleague musicians are still hopeful Castro will return but when and how remains the mystery puzzle.

Castro who was in the company of Asamoah Gyan and a rumoured lover never returned to shore when he hopped on what was supposed to be a fun ride on the Ada river.

His first visit to Aqua Safari and first time on the Ada River proved to be the last time he was seen alive.

Till date, there have been series of prophesies either claiming him alive or dead, leaving his family and Ghanaians with a thin hope of survival.

Without a single melodious tune from the classic musician, the only symbol of remembrance remains a photo he took on the jet-ski, moments before he rode off.

He will be legally declared dead next year per constitutional requirements for missing persons.
