deny media rumours linking him to the alleged ritual sacrifice of his
friend, the Ghanaian rapper Castro.
Castro, real name Theophilus Tagoe, and his girlfriend, Janet Badu,
both disappeared in late July while using jet skis during a holiday
with Gyan's family at a resort in Ada, Ghana. Both were presumed
drowned, but the fact that no bodies were recovered lead to
increasingly lurid speculation in the press over what happened to the
pair.
Gyan, who left Sunderland for a lucrative deal with Abu Dhabi's Al Ain
in 2012, has always denied any involvement, but that failed to stop
the speculation spreading, prompting his decision to call a press
conference.
A statement from the Gyan family, read out by lawer Kissi Agyabeng,
attacked the media for "wild allegations and rumours ... ranging from
the absurd - of the imputation of criminality to [Gyan] 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.
