The Communication Director of the International Society For Krsna Consciousness ISKCON which is also known as the Hare Krsna Movement, Jnana Cakcus Das, has revealed that Castro’s feared death or drown, is a clear case of paying for one’s karma.
Speaking to GhanaCelebrities.Com, Jnana disclosed that “I have done some small spiritual work on the case and can tell anybody that Catro’s case is purely a karmic effect – his destiny. He paid for his karma. Look, nothing happens in life for nothing, and nothing happens in life by chance.
Because we don’t know or understand the deeper dimension of karma, that is why we are bewildered by the accident. Castro’s case has nothing to do with the fact that he visited any spiritualist for help, got results but refused to reward the spiritualist and so the spiritualist plotted this situation for him.
Any spiritualist who says the family of Castro should bring a goat, cow or money for him or her to bring him back because his situation has anything to do with spiritual bondage is a liar! No spirit has tied Castro in the water – refusing to release him! The lady too is not from any marine agent or goddess as it is being peddled.
Even though the news of Castro’s disappearance which quickly turned into death appeared online at around 14:00 GMT, we’ve so far learnt that, Castro and Janet may have gone missing far earlier—at around 10am since their empty Jet Ski was found near an island at around 11-12:00 GMT.
It has been alleged that Castro De Destroyer was wearing a life jacket but Janet Bandu who sat at the back of the Jet Ski was not wearing any. And the question has been, if indeed he was wearing a life jacket, how come he has gone missing (drowned)?
Interestingly, the above question paved way for several assumptions such as, Castro took off his life jacket to save Janet and consequently, Castro the rescuer got drowned with Janet.
Castro and Janet Bandu’s death or missing (if you are one of those who like such to be said) has been surrounded by countless theories—both reasonable and unreasonable. The assumptions are countless but the facts are just a few, making the disappearance or death a mystery.
Some have come out to say, the two are with a certain sea goddess (popularly known as Maame Water in Ghana)—who even told us such a spirit or personality exists? Again, the existence of such a spirit has not been established, except being claimed by some people who present themselves as having some sort of connection with this spirit…
The absence of any logical, reasonable and scientific explanation as to what happened means, the absurd theories will continue to unfold.
Apart from the two having been said to be ‘chilling’ with Maame Water while we worry about them on earth, others have come to say, they must have been abducted. And the question should be, by whom and for what?
There is a group of people who also believe, the whole Castro and Janet’s disappearance was an attempt at pulling a publicity stunt for Castro—but it got out of hands, making it difficult for Castro and Janet to come out of their hiding place. Pretty plausible but hugely ridiculous…
The Many Blame Games
For whatever disaster that befalls anyone in this world, someone must be blamed and if we cannot reasonably find anyone to blame, we sometimes even push the blame on the back of nature.
As the two families sit on each other’s neck, shifting blame from one corner to another, the general Ghanaian population also needed to blame someone. As usual, it started from blaming President Mahama and to be frank, I don’t know how President Mahama can be blamed for anything in connection with this…
But then, if Jordan Ayew has been brought in as the cause of Castro’s death, it is not shocking that President Mahama has been apportioned a blame too.
According to those blaming Jordan Ayew, if the footballer had passed the ball to Asamoah Gyan in the Ghana vrs Germany match, Asamoah would have scored—and that would have meant that, Ghana would have still be part of the on-going 2014 Brazil World Cup.
And if Ghana was in there, Asamoah Gyan would have been in Brazil by now. Meaning, there was no way Castro would have been dead or be at Ada because it was Asamoah Gyan who invited or took him there. What a long chain of events just to blame Jordan Ayew…
It is day 5 and Castro De Destoyer’s body or that of her alleged girlfriend-Janet Bandu who was with him on the Jet Ski has not been found.
We’ve heard the spiritualists, the fetish priests and even the prophets talk about what they can see in the spiritual world—the world they claim is beyond us, therefore beyond any common sense, reason, logic or scientific understanding.
However, we have a video of an eye witness who says, together with his mates, they were those who found an empty Jet Ski on the sea—and called the resort that hired the Jet Ski out to tell them about the Jet Ski.
According to the young man, he was working on one of the many Ada islands with his friends when they saw a Jet Ski on the water—with no one riding it. They pulled the Jet Ski out of the water and wondered who might have left it on the water.
They saw a sticker of the resort that hired the Jet Ski out on the machine, so they took the Jet Ski home and called the resort to tell the manager about the found Jet Ski.
Interestingly, when they found the Jet Ski, there was no key in the ignition—meaning whoever was using it had parked it on the water and taken off the key.
The young man mentioned that, when they called the resort and told the manager that they’ve found a Jet Ski belonging to him, the manager said he had not lost any Jet Ski. It was when they insisted that it was his, because they can see his sticker on it—and after having given him the identification number of the Jet Ski that the manager checked the number against his hiring records to say, Castro hired that particular Jet Ski.
So it was then that the manager realized Castro must have been missing in the water and sent some of his boys out to where the island where the guys who found the Jet Ski were based (That is my understanding of the guy is saying in the video).
It is day 3 and the bodies of talented Ghanaian musician-Castro De Destroyer (real name Theophilus Tagoe) and his alleged girlfriend-Janet Bandu who drowned with him at Ada have still not been found.
I’ve put together my thoughts (which I’ve shared on social media) so far for those interested—as I invite you all to share your thoughts on developments with us.
Day 1 | 6th July, 2014
Though sad, I hope Castro’s death teaches us all a lesson. We ‘Ghanaians’ pride ourselves with everything foreign and we want to do whatever we see the West do, forgetting that there are rules and conditions. Chris Brown does it so Castro must do it too…
I have friends who Jet Ski a lot in Spain but these guys can also swim like whales. Anytime they jump on these machines, they have everything intact—-with life guards and sometimes coast guards not even far from them should there be any danger. These coast guards have planes and others for rescue purposes…
I understand accidents occur but they occur most under hazardous and unfit conditions. It is not even every water body or sea that people are allowed to really Jet Ski in certain parts of the West.
We need to leave behind those aspects of foreign lifestyles that we have NOT mastered.
A 5 year old British girl can swim like hell, and I don’t mean ‘Borla beach’ swimming, professional swimming!
So if you see this girl jumping up and down into water, you don’t have to jump too! We copy everything even when we don’t have the foundation…
How effective is even our search and rescue systems?
I know young guys who call themselves fast and furious in Ghana, racing on those pot holes roads because they’ve seen others do it on MTV or in some damn movies…
May His Soul Rest in Peace…
Day 2 | 7th July 2014
Now, many people are confused—with some saying, Castro was wearing a life jacket and others saying, he was not. And so what?
A life jacket does not give you another life—and it does not make you a superman. It’s only a protective measure, not an absolute measure.
The same way you will not jump out of a plane because a parachute has been fixed to your back, so should you not jump into any water simply because you have a life jacket on…
What if the parachute never opens—same as, what if the life jacket is even faulty? There can be a lot of What IFs, the only SAFE IF is when we engage in less risky enterprises. And we must know when and where to take certain risks.
Anyone who has been on any water before with people will surely have been told that, no matter what, don’t turn yourself into a RESCUER—even if you are an expert in swimming.
The birth name of Hiplife musician – Castro – is Theophilus Tagoe. He was born in 1982 to Mrs Lydia Tagoe and Mr Coffie. Castro spent his early years and some part of his adulthood in Tarkoradi where he hails from.
Castro started his musical career at a very tender age due to his love for music. He later moved from Tarkoradi to Accra to concentrate on his music career since Accra is thought to be where a musician can easily make a break-through.
Professionally, Castro joined mainstream music in 2003 when he released his debut album ‘Sradenam’. Sradenam became an instant hit in Ghana. Its popularity and the lyrics that made up the song drove musicians like Tripple M to record cover versions of it.
In an era where music business was not lucrative and difficult for musicians to remain consistent, Castro was able to maintain that uniformity and came out with his second studio album – ‘Toffee’. Much need not to be talked about ‘Sradenam’ and ‘Toffe’. The impact and the noise these two albums generated was felt everywhere in the country. Among the many musicians at that time, Castro stood out from the crowd because of his silky voice and his singing prowess.

We cannot list the number of featured tracks Castro has to his credit simply because they are uncountable. He worked with musicians such as 4×4, Tinny, Sarkodie, Abrewa Nana, Mzbel, Pope Skinny, Buk Bak, Dasebre Dwamena, just to mention a few.
The history of Hiplife cannot be written without making reference to somebody like Castro. He contributed much to this genre that is putting food on the tables of several young guys and girls today.
Castro later moved from being a solo artiste and formed a group with Shiloh and Screw Face. With these three great musicians coming together to form a trio, they named their group Cashface – Castro (Ca), Shiloh (sh), Screw Face (face). Many hit tracks like ‘Omega’ was churned out from this group until the group was later dissolved where Castro went on with his solo projects just as he had started at the beginning of his career.
AUDIO: Castro Got Drowned Because of His Evil Ways – Prophet Samuel Bafo Declares
As the search for Hiplife musician Castro De Destroyer and his alleged girlfriend – Janet Bandu – continues, lot of theories are popping up. Several spiritualists are attributing the misfortune to ‘Maame Water’ (Marine god). Listening to these many theories that have come up within this few days, it is becoming very difficult for a person to choose which of these theories to believe.
Some are of the view that Castro De Destroyer and Janet Bandu are no more among the living; whilst others believe the two individuals are still alive.
The newest person to join the talk of town is Prophet Samuel Bafo, a radio prophet on Channel R. According to the man of God, the musician got drowned because of his bad or evil ways.
Asamoah Gyan Accused of Being ‘Angel of Death’ Truth or Superstition?
If there is one thing you can trust Ghanaians to do, it is to look for underlying reasons for any event, no matter how innocuous. People are always looking for the hand of the spiritual in whatever issue that happens in our physical world.
Therefore whenever any serious tragedy strikes, it does not take long for the conspiracy theorists to come out with their versions of what happened. No person of note can die a natural death in Ghana, and in Castro’s case it has not taken long for the theory surrounding his demise to come out, and this one links several past incidents, including Castro’s ‘death’, all to Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan.
AUDIO: Cousin of Janet Bandu – Lordina- Says They Didn’t Know Janet Was At Ada; But Had Told Her Mom She Was Going Somewhere with Her Friends
In a situation like this, information is required from close relatives and friends of the missing individuals to help police and the general public search for the victims. Lot of people have had something to say in connection with this Castro and Janet drowning issue – from friends, families, eyewitnesses, spiritualists, and a whole lot. Another person to join the train is Lordina, a cousin to Janet Bandu (the lady supposedly believed to have drowned with Castro De Destroyer).
Speaking in an interview with Sammy Flex on Pluzz 89.9 FM this morning, Lordina (who was very tactful in her communication), revealed that they (family) did not know their sister Janet was at Ada.
