The controversial case of Ghanaian “prophet” Ebo Noah has taken an emotional turn, shifting from public spectacle to a familial plea for forgiveness.
The 30-year-old man, who fraudulently predicted a catastrophic global flood on December 25, 2025, and was subsequently arrested by Ghana Police, now has his mother appealing for his mercy on social media.
A Mother’s Public Appeal
In a widely circulated video, Ebo Noah’s mother passionately begged for leniency for her son. She argued that his apocalyptic predictions were merely foolish antics, not criminal intent.
Furthermore, she explicitly disputed his grand claims, stating he possessed no resources to procure the fleet of salvation boats he famously promised followers. Her appeal, however, took a surprising turn in its breadth of recipients.
A Surprising List of Appealees
The mother did not limit her plea to official channels. Instead, she directly called upon a diverse group of influential figures.
Her list included President Mahama, former President Nana Akufo-Addo, and the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohonu.
Notably, she also appealed to popular Ghanaian actress and media personality, Nana Ama McBrown, a move that raised many eyebrows and underscored the unusual nature of the entire situation.
Netizens React with Mixed Feelings
Consequently, this maternal intervention has sparked a wave of mixed reactions online. Many netizens expressed sympathy for a mother’s love, understanding her desperation.
However, a significant portion of the public response has been critical and skeptical.
Questioning the Timing of Intervention
Specifically, a prevailing sentiment among critics questions the mother’s timing. Numerous comments online probe why she did not intervene earlier to stop her son’s dangerous and misleading prophecies as they began gaining traction.
Many argue that her public appeal now, after the damage is done and law enforcement has acted, feels like a reaction to consequence rather than a prevention of harm.
The court of public opinion remains deeply divided, balancing compassion against accountability.
The situation reminds of the powerful intersection of social media influence, personal responsibility, and the enduring bond of family, leaving Ghanaians to watch what happens next.
