Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan has revealed that he still misses his close friend Castro and is hanging on to a faint hope that he is alive.
Castro, known in his private life as Theophilus Tagoe disappeared almost three years ago (July 6, 2014) while on a weekend getaway with the Black Stars skipper.

He said, “We cannot confirm it right now because the body has not yet been found but we were there and we know what happened so we just waiting for the traditional authorities, they said seven years. Every time we are playing his song or cracking jokes, we really miss this guy a lot”.
Gyan also revealed that he has been unable to release any new music because of his friend’s disappearance.
“I still do music but since my friend got lost, Castro. I decided to just lay back a bit. We had a lot of hit songs that were coming out before the incident happened,” Gyan said.
Castro, who hails from Takoradi, was born in 1982 to Lydia Tagoe, a trader, and Mr Coffie, an accountant, at the Takoradi Harbour. He attended Anglican Primary and J.S.S in Takoradi.
