Castro will return soon – Kofi Kinata
Two years after the disappearance of popular
musician Castro, his family and friends continue
to give assurances that the missing musician shall
return.
The latest person to join in the singing of this
'Castro shall return' mantra is the reigning New
Artiste of the Year, Kofi Kinata, a very close
confidant of the missing musician.

"I know he is still alive and would definitely
come back to join all of us from where he left
off. Castro is like a brother to me and working
with him has added a lot to my career as a
musician. I always pray for him and he will return
soon," Kinata was quoted to have told 3news.com.

Kofi Kinata, singer of the 'Susuka' mega hit song,
did not give the exact reason he was confident
that Castro would return but his optimism is the
same attitude that has been adopted by family of
the missing musician.

A biological brother of Castro is also on record
to have announced about a year ago during the
Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) that the
missing musician was not dead and will return as
fit as a fiddle.

Two years ago, on July 6, 2014, Castro and his
female friend, Janet Bandu, both got missing while
cruising Lake Volta on a jet ski hired to him by
Aqua Safari Resort.

The two never returned but about an hour later, it
was reported that the jet-ski on which they rode
had been found vacant on the lake.

A combined search team made up of the Ghana Police
Service, Ghana Army, local fisherfolks and friends
combed the entire area for days without a single
trace of their whereabouts.

Speculations went viral without any evidence that
Castro and Janet were most likely to have
drowned.

Police investigations later revealed that Aqua
Safari Resort, the company which hired the jet ski
to Castro, gave him the wrong type of life jacket
that could not have saved his life if an accident
occurred while on the water.

It has also turned out that Aqua Safari Resort,
after hir­ing the jet ski to Castro, has not been
able to provide the indemnity form all riders are
made to sign before they are given the jet.

The inability of the company to explain how come
Castro was not made to fill the form and go
through the laid down procedure before he was
allowed to ride on the jet, and how come he had
the wrong type of life jacket raises questions on
the safety of revellers who cruise the lake.

Normally, there should have been a tracker which
should alert the operators of the jet ski that it
had stopped somewhere and the exact spot on the
lake where it was. But it took about an hour
before someone saw the empty jet ski and alerted
the resort.
