AUDIO: Castro Got Drowned Because of His Evil Ways – Prophet Samuel Bafo Declares

As the search for Hiplife musician Castro De Destroyer and his alleged girlfriend – Janet Bandu – continues, lot of theories are popping up. Several spiritualists are attributing the misfortune to ‘Maame Water’ (Marine god). Listening to these many theories that have come up within this few days, it is becoming very difficult for a person to choose which of these theories to believe.

Some are of the view that Castro De Destroyer and Janet Bandu are no more among the living; whilst others believe the two individuals are still alive.

The newest person to join the talk of town is Prophet Samuel Bafo, a radio prophet on Channel R. According to the man of God, the musician got drowned because of his bad or evil ways.

Asamoah Gyan Accused of Being ‘Angel of Death’ Truth or Superstition?

If there is one thing you can trust Ghanaians to do, it is to look for underlying reasons for any event, no matter how innocuous. People are always looking for the hand of the spiritual in whatever issue that happens in our physical world.

Therefore whenever any serious tragedy strikes, it does not take long for the conspiracy theorists to come out with their versions of what happened. No person of note can die a natural death in Ghana, and in Castro’s case it has not taken long for the theory surrounding his demise to come out, and this one links several past incidents, including Castro’s ‘death’, all to Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan.

AUDIO: Cousin of Janet Bandu – Lordina- Says They Didn’t Know Janet Was At Ada; But Had Told Her Mom She Was Going Somewhere with Her Friends

In a situation like this, information is required from close relatives and friends of the missing individuals to help police and the general public search for the victims. Lot of people have had something to say in connection with this Castro and Janet drowning issue – from friends, families, eyewitnesses, spiritualists, and a whole lot. Another person to join the train is Lordina, a cousin to Janet Bandu (the lady supposedly believed to have drowned with Castro De Destroyer).

Speaking in an interview with Sammy Flex on Pluzz 89.9 FM this morning, Lordina (who was very tactful in her communication), revealed that they (family) did not know their sister Janet was at Ada.

A Fetish Priest Who Claims to Know Castro & Stated 2 Weeks Ago that Castro Will Be Involved in an Accident Speaks | Says Castro Came to Him for Black Magic-JUJU

I think we should embrace ourselves for the fetish priests and fake pastors to take us for granted for the next few days in relation to Castro De Destroyer and Janet Bandu’s accident that took place over the weekend at Ada.

Yesterday, a spiritualist who claims to be a ‘Maame Water’ agent told us, Castro is still alive and that he is with his ‘Maame Water’ wife under the sea. She even added that, Castro will come back to this world alive—that is if we stop grieving.

    • I said it that if those selling their souls for a mere BET awards, unnecessary riches, do not quit, they will continue to use their collegues as sacrifices…they now shoot their videos n movies in Ghana because u people have given them access to control u. Congrate. Kill ur own people because of vanity! Shameless youth in Ghana. I spit on u! Is this the example ur leaders taught u! This people even use thier own people for sacrifice how much less u aficans they don’t even respect?! They always get something to cover up in the physical world like, heart attack, accidents, drugs etc…u want stupid vanity, u pay stupid price for vanity. These people are powerful n can’t protect yourself from them with ur dead gods unless u turn to Jehovah Almighty thru Jesus Christ. I can’t believe this Ghana of yesterday has breed this much stupid youth who don’t want the ryt blessing like our forefathers taught us. I said n I’m saying it again, may God have mercy on us all! Puke on the guilty youth! SHAME!

  1. Aww so sad. Heard it minutes ago but needed to confirm it here. May his soul rest in peace if he’s gone already. All the same miracles do happen.

  2. This is so sad. Oh but if he doesnt know how to swim why go into water? Ghanaians are just trouble. White people learn swimming from childhood and whatever they are doing in water be it jet skiing and the rest, they know how to do, they know how to swim. Yet our people want to be like white people. Jet ski in Ghana with no helicopter rescue, proper life guard, and all that hmmmm

      • You are not alone,,, Am so scared of pools, river, lakes, sea anything you name it gosh. Our house had a pool and i warned ma hubby to make it as dry as it looked cos none of ma kids are not going to be swimming not even the outdoor swimming play. My bestie got drowned in 1999 at the mighty beach tema and i witnessed her dead so since then i don’t get closer to water like that except my shower. I go to miami but don’t even swim. Damn this is too sad

        Reply
        • What?? are you that scared? Please let the children learn now that they are kids lol Swimming is very easy when you learn. All you have to do is to get a guard to teach them. They can as well use the outdoor pool. Come on don’t be scared we have levels of feets.

It killed a friend recently. ..I’ve never hoped someone is so alive like I’m hoping for castro.. death menh!!!!!

      • If you do not know how to swim, a life jacket is useless? And am wondering where the rescuers/lifeguards for this resort were?

        Reply
      • What??? life jacket don’t mean shit. Is so obvious he cant swim and should have called for an experienced guard for help. Him helping his g/f was a huge mistake. In crucial time like this each one for him or her self. Also don’t go to a jet skiing if you cant swim.

        Reply
        • A life jacket when properly worn and if in good condition, will kip u afloat even fr 24hrs. However when it isn’t properly worn, when u jump into the water it can block ur face and airway thus u find it difficult to swim but rather u begin to gulp in water and struggle till u r pulled out or finally drowned.
          Secondly saving a drowning person is another death trap, this is because a person drowning struggles with both hands and legs trying to survive and when u jump in to save the person, the drowning person gets hold of you and tries to grip firm but pushing you downwards trying to pull him or herself up out of the water.. So any of the two I guess caused the sad story line. Tnx

          • lol Wow some deep sea engineer be what. thank you for this lessons. Am a swimming free person so will pass this to my friends who enjoys it a lot.

    • am sure is over speeding. If u cannot win why ride that shit fast. no life guards rescue them face. this should b lessons. don’t ride that shit if u cant swim. God rest his soul we love u n will miss u.

  4. The thing is I am even sure he was drunk. These Ghanaians want to live like westerners those we dont have the same protection. When did Jet Skiing become a thing of Ghana? How many people riding this ski have taken proper swimming lesson? We are too known people. All the same May his soul rest in peace

    • Am sure the rest will learn from this.. Copy copy is now our celebrities goals. He should have stayed where Gyan and his crew was rather than this skiing. ahhhh this is too sad.

  5. One part of this article reads that his body was found lifeless ms another part that his body has not been found. GC which one is it?

    Reply
  6. Though sad, I hope Castro’s death teaches us all a lesson. We ‘Ghanaians’ pride ourselves with everything foreign and we want to do whatever we see the West do, forgetting that there are rules and conditions. Chris Brown does it so Castro must do it too…

    I have friends who Jet Skii a lot in Spain but these guys can also swim like whales. Anytime they jump on these machines, they have everything intact with life guards and sometimes coast guards not even far from them should there be any danger. These coast guards have planes and others for rescue purposes…

    I understand accidents occur but they occur most under hazardous and unfit conditions.

    It is not even every water body or sea that people are allowed to really Jet Ski in certain parts of the West.

    We need to leave behind those aspects of foreign lifestyles that we have NOT mastered.

    A 5 year old British girl can swim like hell, and I don’t mean Borla beach swimming, professional swimming!

    So if you see this girl jumping up and down into water, you don’t have to jump too! We copy everything even when we don’t have the foundation…

    How effective is even our search and rescue systems?

    I know young guys who call themselves fast and furious in Ghana, racing on those pot holes roads because they’ve seen others do it on MTV or in some damn movies…

    May His Soul Rest in Peace

You said it all, Castro messed up only God know’s what dragged him on the jet ski in the first place. I just hope this whole thing will lead to some good news.

Super humans come into the world and change us forever. Castro’s music has touched and changed us all. If you’re sad and Castro’s music is playing, you just can’t help it but sing along or dance your problems away. His tragic demise is a loss to all ghanaians and the music industry. His legacy will forever remain with us. May his gentle soul R.I.P

He should have prevented this by staying in the shore. He dragged an innocent girl into an early grave. Truth must be told sometimes. Am sure those who chops anything in skirt will learn something from this. It hurt alright but it could have been prevented.

      • All of your secrets will come out dead or alive. When everyone you will be remembered for something. To the rest of the world he was a talented Musicians, but for us Ghanaian Canadians we remember him as the talented Musician who was a cheater. My uncle knew he was married and he lives in Ghana. There are people around the world who knew about his marriage, so they will see him the same way Canadians do. Do you think the wife wont show up at the funeral with her son? Everyone will hear the news about his marriage and cheat self. How do think we Ghanaian Canadians felt when heard he died with his girlfriend. We thought they made a mistake, it must be his wife, but when I saw the pictures. I was shocked, so were many Ghanaian Canadians. We all knew his wife is in Canada. Look now he killed himself because of this girlfriend, leaving behind a small child. He used her for a green card.This why most Ghanaian kids abroad don’t want to marry a Ghanaian man in Ghana and if they do, he must be born abroad. A lot of this Ghana dads do this. They go to Ghana have an affair and come back to their wife in abroad. If you are not faithful don’t get married, if you don’t want to be in the relationship anymore get a divorce.

  16. For those of you ladies who likes to break ppl’s homes should be warned. Our God says what he has put together let no demon or anything in skirt should be put asunder. We all know Mr. tagoe was a legally married man yet some cheap woman accompanied him to the shore. I mean what for? See where it has landed them. Am not speaking ill of the death but some truth must be told. I like to point out things the way it is so no one should question me on this. If the lady had respect her self enough to ignore this request her untimely death wouldn’t have happened. In all both of them were very stubborn, When in Ghana aka Gold coast became a jet ski friendly for we human beings? A place without any form of security guards and equipments yet these two only God know’s if they were on alcohol or heroine took the risk and skied around without even a jacket guard on. Am very disappointed the only person i pity right now is the lovely wife and kids. The lady will learn her lessons wherever she is now. I hope we all ladies will learn something new from this.
