I saw the bodies of Castro and Janet – Diver


 I saw the bodies of Castro and Janet – Diver

Samuel Odartey Lamptey, an experienced diver has disclosed that Theophilus Tagoe, popularly known as Castro, is indeed dead and not coming back; quashing hopes of friends and family of ever seeing him again. 

In an exclusive interview Kofi TV, Mr Lamptey said Asamoah Gyan, Captain of the Black Stars reached out to him for assistance in finding Castro, two days after the incident. 

After spending about four days in the river searching for the bodies, he found them deep down the Volta River estuary in Ada. 

“I was called two days after the incidence and I agreed to go and help them. It was in the evening but I decided to go and search for them right away. They rented a canoe for me and I set off. I found them under the water after about four days,” he said. 

Mr. Lamptey however said he was not able to access their bodies because he was stopped by a big snake which happened to be a god at that particular location. 

“I saw their bodies but when I tried to touch them, a big snake appeared and warned me not to try it, I went back and asked what I could do and I was told there was the need for some rituals to be performed,” he explained.
“The only way the spirit would allow me to bring Castro’s body back, was to perform some customary rites for both of them, when I told Asamoah Gyan about it, he said his concern was Castro and that he does not know the lady, so I had to stop at a point,” Mr. Lamptey added. 

Efforts to rescue Castro and his lady companion, Janet Bandu
began on Sunday, July 6, 2014 and up till now some Ghanaians and families of the two nurse the hope of them being alive. Attempts to retrieve their bodies yielded no results. 

Mr Lamptey however stated that Castro died because he defied earlier cautions given him by the river gods. 

He said, “because of their singing they go there every time. The spirit warned them, but they did not listen and so it almost killed them all but God saved them.” 

“They came across as disobedient. Where you have been warned not to go, because you might be killed, you go behind their back and went ahead to hire a speed boat and took Janet along,” he explained.”

Ghanaian actress begins #NoPanty campaign for ladies

Ghanaian actress begins #NoPanty campaign for ladies Ghanaian actress Baby Blanche of Socrate Safo’s ‘ Hot Fork ‘ movie fame has launched a campaign to stop ladies from wearing panties. She said the campaign which is themed ‘Operation Remove Your Panties’, is advising young ladies to refrain from wearing panties since they play a major role in the cause of infections – like Candida – in the female genital organ. “The whole initiative is to help ladies free themselves from infections which most of them suffer as a result of wearing panties. I have practiced it and it has helped me. I also want to impart this same practice onto others. “I can’t preach about going ‘pantyless’ and contradict myself by wearing them. I am not wearing Panties as I speak to you,”  she told JOY NEWS. According to her, though she hasn’t consulted any medical practitioner for advice, she’s confident her colleague ladies will gradually understand the intended meaning of her campaign based on her pers...

I'm not in a rush to make a new family - Yvonne Okoro

I'm not in a rush to make a new family - Yvonne Okoro   If you ever intend visiting beautiful and smart Ghanaian actress Yvonne Okoro at home after 10pm, I’m sorry, that is almost impossible. Yes, the actress lives with her parents in their home and that means you are not really welcome unless the visit is that necessary or you are family related. Well, how did we know this? As monitored by Ghana’s Hub For Pop Culture And Urban Entertainment News – www.nydjlive.com, the actress we so much adore in a recent interview with Delay revealed the parents were very traditional and conservative hence living with them. Wow!! Going on 33 and still living with the parents? I’m sure that’s the very question you are asking yourself but hey, that’s not a big deal. “I live with my parents. I live in a very traditional conservative family where there’s that… you can’t bring a man home unless the man, you know…this is a serious relationship”, she said. Although Yvonne Okoro would w...

Shatta Wale’s comment on my GH One TV walk-off was childish – Tic Tac

Shatta Wale’s comment on my GH One TV walk-off was childish – Tic Tac Hiplife artiste, Tic Tac has described as ‘childish and sarcastic’ Shatta Wale’s commendation of his decision to walk out of live TV interview on GH One TV. Tic Tac walked out of the interview because visuals of Shatta Wale’s video were playing in the background at a time he was answering questions about the feud between them. “Are you playing Shatta Wale’s video? Is it because we are talking about him? I did not come here to promote Shatta Wale,” he said and left the studio despite attempts by the host to offer an explanation and resolve the issue. In what has been described by many as ‘shocking’, Shatta Wale in a Facebook post jumped to the defense of Tic Tac as he posited that the latter’s posture affirms the ideals he [Shatta Wale] has been preaching for some time now. “I think Tictac really made the best move ever. This is what i have been talking about. We should respect an artiste when he is your studios or...
