On the back of reports that Ghanaian hiplife musician Theophilus Tagoe aka Castro and video vixen Janet Bandu who disappeared about seven (7) years ago, will be declared dead by the court this year, Castro’s father, Mr. Eshun, spoken.
Mr. Eshun, in a new interview on Takoradi-based Skyy Power FM, insisted that nothing will make his family admit his son is dead, “not even after the state had declared him so as the law demands.”
Speaking on ‘The OC Showbiz’, he emphasized that though the family abides by the laws of the state, they won’t hold a funeral for Castro but would also not conduct themselves in a manner that would be considered as a resistance to the laws.
“We are law-abiding people so the family will not resist the state institution from pronouncing him dead in July as demanded but will they force us to have his funeral or will they kill him when he appears after the pronouncement?” Mr. Eshun quizzed.
Castro and Janet disappeared on the 6th of July 2014 at Ada Beach.
Reports say the two, while on holiday with footballer Asamoah Gyan went for a jet ski trip to the Ada Beach Resort where they went missing.
All attempts to find them proved futile even though the jet ski involved in the accident was recovered on the same day of their disappearance.
Evidence Acts of Ghana, 1975, Section 3, therefore, states that a person can only be declared legally dead after seven years by a court, where the person in question has not been seen or heard from in seven years despite diligent and persistent efforts to find him.
This means both lost personalities will be declared dead after 7th July 2021.
