The Ghana Police Service has executed a fake prophecy arrest, detaining Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah.
Authorities apprehended the 30-year-old on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, following months of escalating global anxiety he incited with claims of an apocalyptic flood.
Consequently, this move ends a controversial saga that spanned from a failed Christmas Day doomsday prediction to a bizarre appearance at a major music concert.
The Failed Prediction: A Global Flood That Never Came
Ebo Noah first seized international attention in August 2025. He claimed a divine mandate to build ten modern arks, asserting they would save humanity from a three-year global deluge.
For months, he actively stirred fear, insisting the catastrophic rains would commence on December 25, 2025. His social media channels, notably TikTok and YouTube, were flooded with videos showing him supervising wooden vessel construction in tattered sackcloth.
He repeatedly declared the purchase of over 250,000 pieces of timber, framing the arks as the “only refuge.” However, when Christmas Day arrived with clear skies, his prophecy publicly fizzled.
Subsequently, in a rapid pivot, Ebo Noah released a viral video. He then claimed his personal intercession and a three-week fast had persuaded God to “postpone” the destruction.
From Apocalyptic Visions to Concert Stage
The situation, however, took a surreal turn just days after the failed prediction. Ebo Noah remarkably appeared on stage at rapper Sarkodie’s high-profile ‘Rapperholic 2025’ concert.
There, dressed in his trademark robes, he urged thousands of fans to celebrate and “party” because the doom was delayed.
This jarring shift from sowing fear to inciting revelry sparked immediate and massive backlash on social media. Consequently, many citizens began demanding his arrest for deliberately deceiving the public.
Police Action and the Broader Legal Warning
The fake prophecy arrest comes amid serious police concerns over the tangible consequences of Ebo Noah’s actions.
Reports indicated that hundreds of individuals—some traveling from neighboring countries—had abandoned their homes and arrived at his “ark site” with luggage. This movement, authorities noted, risked creating a potential humanitarian and security crisis.
As the nation prepares for December 31 Watch Night services, the police have strongly reiterated their stance.
They confirm that the ban against fake prophecies that cause fear and panic remains fully in effect.
Furthermore, they issued a clear warning: any religious figure who issues declarations causing unnecessary public tension or panic will face similar legal consequences.
This fake prophecy arrest therefore serves as a direct enforcement of this policy and a stark deterrent.
