Aya RamzyB, a musician based in Takoradi, is one of the individuals who believes that hiplife artist Castro is still alive, despite being legally declared dead.
In an interview with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, Ramzy said that the fact that Castro has not been found does not necessarily mean he is dead.
“Castro dey! ‘Rest in Peace to Castro’ should be erased! He’s still where he is, Castro is there. If you haven’t seen him, don’t say something has happened to him,” he stated.
He further emphasized, “I, RamzyB, know and believe Castro is alive, and he would come out. I believe he’s in a different country, and he’s alive.”
Ramzy’s comments come ten years after Castro’s disappearance. According to the Evidence Act of 1975, an individual is presumed dead if they go missing and are not found within a seven-year period.
On July 6, 2014, Castro and his friend Janet Bandu were reported to have drowned following a jet ski accident in the Ada Estuary while on holiday with Asamoah Gyan and his brother Baffour Gyan.
The jet ski involved in the accident was recovered on the same day as their disappearance, but their bodies were never found, despite an extensive search by the police.
While some believe that Castro and Janet Bandu are dead, others, including Aya RamzyB and Castro’s father, maintain that the ‘Toffee’ singer is still alive.
