"Noah's Ark" Scammer Ebo Noah In Ghana Arrested
A major controversy hit Ghana towards the end of 2025. A figure known to the public as Ebo Noah, or Evans Eshun, was arrested by the police following a viral prediction of a major disaster he made on social media. This arrest sparked heated discussion among netizens, especially because Ebo Noah's previous actions seemed dramatic and unique, even resembling the story of a prophet in classical stories.
For some people, Ebo Noah's predictions are entertainment, but for others, they cause fear. He built a giant wooden ark which was said to be a revelation from God, predicting a great flood that would destroy the world starting December 25, with three years of heavy rain. This idea of course went viral, and attracted the attention of the media and visitors from various regions in Ghana and even abroad.
However, Eshun's arrest marks a new chapter in the controversy. Ghanaian police emphasized that this step was related to monitoring cyber activities ahead of religious services on the evening of December 31. This means that Ebo Noah's actions are considered to have the potential to cause panic or disturb public order. However, until now no official charges have been announced against the person concerned.
Arrest of Ebo Noah: Facts and Chronology
The Ghana Police Service, through the Ghana Police Service, confirmed the arrest of Ebo Noah on Wednesday by the Special Cyber Vetting Team under the supervision of the Inspector General of Police. This arrest was carried out as part of preventive measures against the spread of information that was deemed to cause public concern ahead of the year-end celebrations.
According to an official police statement, Eshun is still in custody to assist with investigations. No court date was announced, nor a decision regarding bail. The police also emphasized the importance of the public not speculating, remaining calm and respecting the legal process. The person concerned is considered innocent until a court decision is made.
Previous Ebo Noah Actions: Building the Ark and Predicting Floods
Before his arrest, Ebo Noah was already in the spotlight because of his dramatic actions. He claimed to have received a revelation from God to build a giant wooden ark in preparation for the great flood he predicted. Videos and posts on social media show him calling on people to take shelter in the ark.
This prediction has gone viral since August 2025. According to his claim, heavy rain will last for three years, and the world will be hit by a great disaster. Many curious people came to see the giant ark he built, making this controversy even more widely discussed in Ghana.
“New Revelation” Delays Disaster
Approaching the predicted date, Ebo Noah stated that the disaster did not occur because of a "new revelation". In a video, he claimed God postponed the disaster after he prayed and fasted. He also said it was necessary to build additional arks because the number of people wanting shelter exceeded the available capacity.
This phenomenon makes some people skeptical, while others continue to follow the action with enthusiasm. Not a few people consider Ebo Noah to be an eccentric figure who often seeks attention through extraordinary claims.
Social and Legal Impact
The arrest of Ebo Noah had a double effect. Socially, citizens are reminded to be careful of information that has the potential to cause public panic. Legally, this case is an example of how security forces monitor cyber activities that can have an impact on public order.
The police emphasized that the legal process must be respected. The public is asked not to spread rumors or speculation that could worsen the situation. This step also emphasizes the principle that everyone is presumed innocent until there is an official court decision.
