The Ghana Police detained the self-proclaimed "prophet" Evans Eshun, known as Ebo Noah, after spreading a prediction about a global flood that was allegedly supposed to begin on December 25, 2025. The arrest was reported by the Ghanaian edition of MyJoyOnline, citing police sources.
According to local media, Ebo Noah had been claiming since August 2025 that he "received a command" to build several "arks" for a three-year rain and urged people to gather at the places he indicated. After the promised cataclysm did not occur, he released a video stating that "God postponed the destruction of the world" thanks to his fasting and prayers.
The authorities expressed concern over the mass psychosis: hundreds of people, including from neighboring countries, were leaving their homes, jobs, and schools to seek salvation at Eshun's "arks". In Elmina, the police declared the "prophet" wanted after a Liberian citizen arrived in Ghana "to catch the ark".
Several publications specify that the arrest was carried out by officers of the special cyber verification group of the police department.
The popularity of the 30-year-old man began to grow in August 2025. Eshun assured followers on TikTok and YouTube that he received divine instructions to build 10 modern arks to save humanity from a three-year global flood. According to his forecast, the rains were supposed to start on December 25, 2025.
After the prediction failed, Ebo Noah appeared on stage at the Rapperholic 2025 concert, urging the audience to "celebrate". This performance sparked a wave of outrage on social media and calls for law enforcement to intervene in the situation.
Currently, an investigation into Eshun's activities and the financial losses his followers might have incurred is ongoing. At the same time, the police previously reminded of the ban on "scare stories" and prophecies that could cause panic among the population.
As reported by the UOJ, fake priests were uncovered in Athens for running a drug lab in a church.
