Asamoah Gyan has publicly broken his silence on the long-standing and emotionally charged mystery surrounding the disappearance of his close friend, Ghanaian musician Castro Destroyer (real name Theophilus Tagoe). In a press conference held in Accra, the Ghanaian football star—accompanied by his brother Baffour Gyan and their lawyer, Kissi Agyebeng—strongly denied any involvement in the incident.
Castro vanished in July 2014 while on a weekend getaway with friends, including Asamoah Gyan, at the Ada Estuary in Ghana. Since then, rumors and conspiracy theories have swirled, some suggesting Gyan’s involvement in occult practices or ritual sacrifice—claims he and his family have firmly rejected.
“It’s absurd and ridiculous,” said Baffour Gyan. “We remained silent because we didn’t want to interfere with the police investigations. We were totally dismayed. There is no evidence. It’s just pure imagination… We knew Castro very well. He was our brother. We loved him like one of our own.”
Their lawyer emphasized that the Gyan family has been cooperating with authorities for over 80 days, countering public suspicion with an appeal to reason and facts. Despite exhaustive searches and investigations, Castro’s body has never been found, fueling both speculation and grief across Ghana.
At this point, Castro is still officially considered missing, not legally declared dead, and no foul play has been proven. The Gyan family’s statements aim to clear their names and focus attention back on the mystery itself rather than unfounded accusations.
