Today 7th July 2021, singer cum finest vocalist, Castro is dead legally.
Rapper Sarkodie, ‘Things Fall Apart’ hitmaker, Kofi Kinaata, Kurl Songx etc had earlier performed at this year’s VGMA in his honour. Giant media house, Angel Broadcasting Network [ABN] had earlier also held a tribute concert in his honour at the Takoradi Mall, Takoradi in the Western region.
The declaration of Castro is in accordance with Ghana’s 1992 constitution. According to the constitution, a disappeared person can be declared dead legally after 7 years of no return.
The singer and one Miss Janet disappeared on the 6th of July 2014 after they were reported drowned following a Jet Ski accident at the Ada Estuary. They were hanging out with his friend, singer and footballer, Asamoah Gyan.
Speaking after the tragic incident, Agyan said;
”Castro called me a week before I returned to Ghana. And said he may not be able to go with us since a friend of his was bereaved. And had to attend the funeral in Kumasi. A day before we went to Ada, he 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 “Under” wants us to wait for him. We parked at a fuel filling 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. We started using the Jet Ski on the second day.”
