Captain
of the Ghanaian national team, Asamoah Gyan has released a statement denying he
had a hand in the death of rapper Castro.
The
28 year old Ghanaian international was accused of killing the rapper whose real
name is Theophilus Tagoe. Castro, who was a friend of the Gyan, went missing along with
his girlfriend Janet Bandu sometime in July.
The rapper and his partner disappeared while using jet skis
on holiday with Gyan's family in Ada.
Speculations were rife that Castro was killed as part of a
ritual sacrifice, an allegation which Gyan denies any knowledge of or
involvement in.
The 28-year-old and his family released a statement
addressing the 'wild allegations and rumours'.
“What sells in the media, and what indeed sold and is still
selling in the media in Ghana are wild allegations and rumours directed
especially at Asamoah Gyan – ranging from the absurd – of the imputation of
criminality to him in the sense that he either murdered Castro or had him kidnapped
– and ending with the ludicrous – that he sacrificed him spiritually to enhance
his career.
“We have been silent while these wild allegations and rumours
have been peddled in the media. We have been silent not because we are
concealing anything or that we do not feel the need to fully state what, from
our reckoning, had happened in Ada. We have been silent because we did not want
to interfere with police investigations.
“We have been totally dismayed by the fact that the platform
was provided for the peddling of these wild and ludicrous allegations and
rumours against us. Those to whom the platform was provided offered no evidence
whatsoever to back their statements. And indeed, the allegation of spiritual
sacrifice can by no stretch of the imagination be propped up.
and Janet Bandu. We had no hand in that occurrence. We have
no moral or legal culpability whatsoever.”
