Press Release Reads Thus:

Accra, Ghana – On Sunday 6 July 2014 we were on holiday in the company of friends and a few acquaintances on the banks of the Volta River, shuttling between Peace Holiday Resort and Aqua Safari Resort at Ada when we noticed that our close friend and popular musician, Castro (known in private Life as Theophilus Tagoe) had gone missing on the Volta River together with an acquaintance, Miss Jane
Bandu, who had apparently hitched a ride with Castro on a jet ski rented by Castro.
We have made and we continue to make every effort to find them. Several state institutions and officials have been. involved in the search, including the Marine Police, the Navy, the Tema Police Command, the Ada Police Command, Ada East District Assembly, local fishermen at Ada and some traditionalists.
The jet ski on which Castro and Miss Jane Bandu rode has been retrieved. However, the two are yet to be found. We are keeping hope alive that the two will eventually be found.
Our prayers and support lie firmly with Castro and Miss Jane Bandu and their families. We pray for strength and fortitude for all engaged in the search. And we also call on anyone who has useful information to assist in this quest. God bless us all.

It’s been 3 agonizing days since the reported drowning of musician Castro at Ada. Despite the thorough search by rescuers and the Marine division of the Ghana Police, his body has still not been recovered. Maxx Entertainment Crew of Takoradi-based Radio Maxx went to Castro’s father’s house in Takoradi to speak to his Step-mother and Sister. Castro’s step-mother Mrs. Felicia Eshun, said the family is in a state of mourning, and it is her prayer that Castro’s body should be found whether dead or alive. Castro’s sister, Patricia Obeng, also added she’s been finding it difficult to believe that her brother was no more. Castro’s father, Mr. Eshun is currently in Ada, helping out with the sea search of his son.

Account of what happened according to 233times.com.

First of all, Castro is not dead, he is missing; as to whether he will be found alive or dead, no one can pronounce that, until proven otherwise with his body.
Asamoah Gyan, Castro and their friends were lodging at the Acqua Safari Hotel in Ada when they arrived at the holiday city and were later transferred to the Peace Holiday Resort. On Sunday 6^th July, 2014 when the unfortunate event happened, Asamoah Gyan was in a boat cruising on the Volta River whilst Castro was jet skiing on the same water body. Castro cruised on the river for a while and got closer to where Janet Bandu was sitting with her friends when Janet jumped at the back of Castro’s jet ski and both were jolly skiing on the river.
They cruised far beyond anyone’s visual reach. One white man who owns an island at the place saw the empty Jet Ski afloat near his island. He called Peace Holiday Resort to inform them that an empty Jet Ski was afloat near his island when they told him it belongs to Acqua Safari Hotel. Reaching Acqua Safari, they noticed that, that was the Jet Ski Castro was using and the search for Castro began because their attention was drawn to the fact that he was not in his hotel room neither was he anywhere close.
It is never true that Janet fell in the river and when Castro was trying to rescue her, he also drowned. As it stands, no one saw how they ‘vanished.’ As to whether the jet ski capsized or Janet fell and Castro was trying to rescue her like the media has it, they are all speculations; no one saw them when they left the Peace Holiday Resort vicinity.
