Police authorities have arrested a self-acclaimed prophet, Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah. His arrest followed his failed end-of-world prophecy.
It could be recalled that Ebo Noah had predicted that the world would end December 25, 2025. He replicated the Biblical Noah’s ark, which he said would be used to save some persons. However, as the prophecy failed, he said it was a result of his prayers to God, to allow more time for the expansion of the ark. The police have now announced his arrest in a statement published on their official website on Wednesday.
According to the statement, Eshun was apprehended by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team as part of ongoing security measures aimed at monitoring cyber-related activities ahead of end-of-year religious programmes, particularly 31st night services.
Authorities said the action followed online reports linking the arrest to earlier warnings issued by security agencies against individuals who make public prophecies or pronouncements capable of causing fear, panic, or disturbances to public order.
The statement read in part: “The Ghana Police Service confirms the arrest of Evans Eshun, also known as Ebo Noah, by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team. The arrest forms part of ongoing efforts to monitor and address cyber-related activities, especially in the period leading up to 31st night religious events.
“This confirmation follows reports circulating online suggesting that the arrest was connected to security advisories cautioning against public declarations or prophecies that could incite fear or disrupt public peace. At this stage, the Police Service has not disclosed specific allegations or the exact nature of the conduct under investigation.”
According to police sources, Eshun remains in custody to assist with ongoing investigations. Authorities have not yet announced any formal charges, court appearances, or bail conditions, nor have they indicated whether other individuals are under investigation in connection with the matter.
