Ebo Noah was arrested on New Year's eve
In the late hours of December 31, 2025, news broke that self-acclaimed Ghanaian prophet Evans Eshun, popularly known as Prophet Ebo Noah, had been picked up by the Ghana Police Service.
Ebo Noah came to the limelight in 2025 after social media videos and pictures of him allegedly building arks trended worldwide.
He had claimed that the world would end by flood on December 25, 2025, and that the arks were a means to rescue humanity.
However, come the D-day, Ebo Noah was rather spotted at a music concert in Accra.
There, he came out to explain that the doomsday had been postponed following intercessory prayers from him.
The events prompted outrage online, which escalated following reports that Ebo Noah had profited through donations from those who believed.
On December 31, pictures circulated showing Ebo Noah in handcuffs in what looked like a police facility, accompanied by news that he had been picked up by the police.
Many on social media have been reacting to the news, with many of them expressing their satisfaction with his arrest.
“Ebo Noah disgraced the country already, the world laughed at us, people said we have low IQ, Called us Lawless, this arrest won’t recover the damage but good job,” wrote one X user.
Another posted, “This is evidence that most Christians do not study the Scriptures and are not led by the Spirit of God. Why would you be deceived in such a manner?”
“I’m glad Ebo Noah has been arrested; his false information stirred public panic,” wrote another.

If Ebo Noah is successfully prosecuted and imprisoned, similar measures should be implemented to monitor all those who claim to be prophets and deliver false prophecies.
