The man who spent months stirring national anxiety with claims of visions involving a water apocalypse, Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, has been apprehended by the Ghana Police Service.
Police sources indicate that Ebo Noah was detained today, Wednesday, December 31, 2025, following a series of controversial events that began with a failed doomsday prediction on Christmas Day and ended with a bizarre appearance at a high-profile music concert.
Authorities have been particularly concerned by reports of hundreds of people—some travelling from neighbouring countries—abandoning their homes and arriving at his “ark site” with luggage, potentially creating a humanitarian and security crisis.
The ‘Flood of 2025’: A Prophecy That Fizzled
Ebo Noah first captured the world’s attention in August 2025, claiming he had received a divine mandate to build 10 modern-day arks to save humanity from a three-year global flood.
He insisted the rains would commence on December 25, 2025, mirroring the biblical deluge.
For months, his TikTok and YouTube channels were flooded with videos of the 30-year-old in tattered sackcloth, supervising the construction of wooden vessels.
He claimed to have purchased over 250,000 pieces of timber for the project, asserting that these arks were the “only refuge” for the faithful.
However, when Christmas Day passed with clear skies, the self-acclaimed prophet quickly pivoted.
In a viral video, he claimed his intercession and three-week fast had persuaded God to “postpone” the destruction.
From the Altar to the Stage: The Rapperholic Appearance
The situation took a turn for the surreal when Ebo Noah appeared on stage at rapper Sarkodie’s ‘Rapperholic 2025’ concert.
Dressed in his trademark robes, he urged thousands of fans to “party” because the doom had been delayed.
This public display of levity—after months of inducing fear—sparked a massive backlash on social media, with many calling for his immediate arrest for “deceiving the public”.
As the nation prepares for the December 31 Watch Night services, the police have reiterated that the ban against fake prophecies that cause fear and panic remains in effect.
Any prophet who issues declarations that could cause unnecessary exacerbation of tension or panic will face similar legal consequences.
