Ghanaians Remember Castro 11 Years After His Mysterious Disappearance
Sunday, July 6, 2025, marks exactly 11 years since popular Ghanaian musician Castro went missing at Ada. Many Ghanaians have taken to social media to remember him and share their thoughts about the tragic day he disappeared.
Castro, whose real name was Theophilus Tagoe, was one of the top musicians in Ghana at the time of his disappearance. He was known for hit songs like “Toffee”, “African Girls” and “Adonai Remix” with Sarkodie. His sweet voice and powerful stage presence made him a household name.
On July 6, 2014, Castro went on a holiday trip to Ada with his close friend, footballer Asamoah Gyan, and other friends.
While at the Ada Estuary, Castro reportedly went on a jet ski ride with a young lady named Janet Bandu. Sadly, both of them went missing in the water and were never seen again.
Rescue teams searched for several days but could not find their bodies. The incident shocked the entire country. Many people were heartbroken and could not believe that someone as lively and talented as Castro could just disappear like that.
Under Ghana’s law, someone can only be declared legally dead if they have been missing for 7 years. That means Castro was declared legally dead on July 6, 2021. But even today, some Ghanaians still believe he might be alive somewhere.
On this 11th anniversary, fans and fellow musicians have shared pictures, videos, and messages on social media to honour his memory. Many say that Castro’s voice and music still live on and that he will never be forgotten.
