Embittered family of Hiplife musician, Castro, real name Theophilus Tagoe, who is feared dead or missing, has confronted a spiritualist they once consulted to produce Castro within 7 days or face the family’s wrath.
On Saturday 6th September, 2014, one Prophet Samuel Baffoe, Founder of Elshadai Prayer Ministry, located in Spintex, revealed on Adom TV’s ‘Anansekrom’ that family of Castro consulted him to find out why Castro’s tragic fate and to find out if he is dead or alive.
Speaking to GhanaCelebrities.Com, Prophet Baffoe reiterated what he said on TV has caught the fury of Castro’s family. “Castro’s family consulted me some few weeks after the whole tragedy happened. I told them before I work on the issue they should go and meet another spiritualist because the case is a thorny one.
“I therefore directed them to a spiritualist and the things they heard into their own ears, they were shocked! The spiritualist disclosed to them that Castro has been consulting him. The man said he has been helping Castro to make hits!” Prophet Baffoe said. He further revealed that just after the show when he got out of the studio, Castro’s father called and threatened him.
“After that TV interview, Castro’s father called – haranguing on the phone out of fury, that why did I reveal on the show that they consulted me! Meanwhile, I did not go to the show to speak about Castro. The host asked me a question about Castro and Asamoah Gyan’s recent anger at a journalist and in answering I said Castro’s family consulted me.
Even though the news of Castro’s disappearance which quickly turned into death appeared online at around 14:00 GMT, we’ve so far learnt that, Castro and Janet may have gone missing far earlier—at around 10am since their empty Jet Ski was found near an island at around 11-12:00 GMT.
It has been alleged that Castro De Destroyer was wearing a life jacket but Janet Bandu who sat at the back of the Jet Ski was not wearing any. And the question has been, if indeed he was wearing a life jacket, how come he has gone missing (drowned)?
Interestingly, the above question paved way for several assumptions such as, Castro took off his life jacket to save Janet and consequently, Castro the rescuer got drowned with Janet.
Castro and Janet Bandu’s death or missing (if you are one of those who like such to be said) has been surrounded by countless theories—both reasonable and unreasonable. The assumptions are countless but the facts are just a few, making the disappearance or death a mystery.
Some have come out to say, the two are with a certain sea goddess (popularly known as Maame Water in Ghana)—who even told us such a spirit or personality exists? Again, the existence of such a spirit has not been established, except being claimed by some people who present themselves as having some sort of connection with this spirit…
The absence of any logical, reasonable and scientific explanation as to what happened means, the absurd theories will continue to unfold.
Apart from the two having been said to be ‘chilling’ with Maame Water while we worry about them on earth, others have come to say, they must have been abducted. And the question should be, by whom and for what?
There is a group of people who also believe, the whole Castro and Janet’s disappearance was an attempt at pulling a publicity stunt for Castro—but it got out of hands, making it difficult for Castro and Janet to come out of their hiding place. Pretty plausible but hugely ridiculous…
The Many Blame Games
For whatever disaster that befalls anyone in this world, someone must be blamed and if we cannot reasonably find anyone to blame, we sometimes even push the blame on the back of nature.
As the two families sit on each other’s neck, shifting blame from one corner to another, the general Ghanaian population also needed to blame someone. As usual, it started from blaming President Mahama and to be frank, I don’t know how President Mahama can be blamed for anything in connection with this…
But then, if Jordan Ayew has been brought in as the cause of Castro’s death, it is not shocking that President Mahama has been apportioned a blame too.
According to those blaming Jordan Ayew, if the footballer had passed the ball to Asamoah Gyan in the Ghana vrs Germany match, Asamoah would have scored—and that would have meant that, Ghana would have still be part of the on-going 2014 Brazil World Cup.
And if Ghana was in there, Asamoah Gyan would have been in Brazil by now. Meaning, there was no way Castro would have been dead or be at Ada because it was Asamoah Gyan who invited or took him there. What a long chain of events just to blame Jordan Ayew…
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.

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.
