Ritual killing: Asamoah Gyan denies involvement in Ghanaian rapper Castro's death

Asamoah Gyan has released a statement denying his involvement in the murder of Ghanaian rapper Castro.
Castro, a friend of the former Sunderland striker, went missing along with his girlfriend, Janet Bandu, in July.
The rapper, whose real name is Theophilus Tagoe, and his partner disappeared while using jet skis on holiday with Gyan's family in Ada.
There had been suggestions that Castro was killed as part of a ritual sacrifice - something that Gyan denies any knowledge of or involvement in.
The 28-year-old and his family released a statement addressing the 'wild allegations and rumours'.
It said: '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.
'Now, we take the opportunity and state without the slightest doubt in our minds that we are not blamable for the disappearance of Castro and Janet Bandu. We had no hand in that occurrence. We have no moral or legal culpability whatsoever.'
