Asamoah Gyan opens up on how he visited a shrine in search of his bosom friend Castro when he disappeared.
Asamoah Gyan provides a detail account of his musician friend Castro's disappearance at the Ada Estuary while on holiday with the Gyan family and Janet Bandu on Sunday 6 July, 2014.
Former Black Stars captain and Sunderland player, Asamoah Gyan has finally narrated what happened before, during and after the mysterious disappearance of his bosom friend and Ghanaian artiste, Theophilus Tagoe known in showbiz circles as Castro.
The 36- year-old Ghanaian striker shared a tight bond with Castro which resulted in both friends composing hit and viral songs. Castro and Asamoah Gyan's friendship was cut short here on earth by an unfortunate incident which led to the disappearance of Castro and Janet Bandu while on holiday at the Ada Estuary on the afternoon of July 6, 2014.
Narrating the ordeal in his autobiography called the "LEGYANDARY", Asamoah Gyan said he used unconventional means in a bid to find his friend.
"As we contemplated our next line of action, a man from the town showed up. He claimed there was an oracle in Ada which could help us find the missing persons. He added the oracle was very powerful and such matters can be easily handled by it. Though I was not very superstitious, I felt obliged to go along since we were in a fix"
" What could we do? I was a little scared of the ensuing encounter with a priest so I declined to join them to the shrine. I had a little money on me so I decided to return to the hotel and gather some money in case we had to make any payments later on. I was in a dilemma, lost in thought and wondering if perhaps his oracle could help".
" One returned with the news that the consultation would cost ¢100 and a bottle of schnapps. I wondered silently if the schnapps was for the gods or the priest. Anyway I went back inside and returned with some money. I joined them this time to go and see for myself. The fear of what laid ahead scared me a bit. I wondered what the Shrine looked like and if it would have any future repercussions on me. But Castro was worthy of every sacrifice that was ahead"
" The journey to the shrine was filled with different emotions. On arrival, he warned us to take of our shoes and offered a seat. I wondered if the priest would recognize me. I chuckled to myself. Do the God's also watch football? At least I could steal a moment of joy in all the turmoil. We sat down and the question started.
"The Adas speak a native language called Dangme. The priest spoke the language and since we didn't comprehend, we had someone interpret for us. He inquired if the person was someone if high repute. That question remarkably gave me faith. Perhaps sparked a glimmer of hope in all surrounding darkness.
"I mean how could he have guess so wildly and still had it right? Unless of course, there was a supernatural presence telling things in the unknown. We answered in the affirmative and he gave a wry smile" Asamoah Gyan recounts on Joy FM a chapter in his autobiography called "LEGYANDARY".
