The father of the late Hip life sensation Castro, Mr. Coffie Eshun has expressed his strong belief that his son may still be alive.
Castro, disappeared in Ada while on a jet ski with his lady friend Janet Bandu on July 6th, 2014, during a trip with friends, including Ghanaian football legend Asamoah Gyan. Despite numerous efforts, the search for the two has been fruitless, and their loss remains a mystery.
In an interview on Empire FM’s Showbiz Today on Saturday, July 7, 2024, the host, Feeling Daddy, asked Mr. Coffie if he had come to terms with his son’s possible death after ten years. Mr. Coffie responded that he had not given up hope, stating, “With my faith, I believe he could be found.” He also suggested that foul play might have been involved in his son’s disappearance.
Castro, born Theophilus Tagoe, vanished with Janet Bandu at the Ada Estuary while on holiday with Asamoah Gyan and friends. Although the jet ski involved in the accident was recovered on the day of their disappearance, their bodies were not found despite a police search.
According to the Evidence Act, 1975 (N.R.C.D. 323), when a person has not been heard from in seven years despite efforts to search for them, they are presumed dead. Section 33 of the Act, titled “Death after seven years absence,” states, “Where a person has not been heard of for seven years despite diligent effort to find that person, that person is presumed to be dead. There is no presumption as to the particular time when that person died.”
