Ghana Police Arrest Ebo Noah Following Failed “Flood of 2025” Prophecy.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, following months of causing widespread fear with his controversial doomsday predictions. Ebo Noah had claimed that a global flood would begin on December 25, 2025, urging his followers to seek refuge in 10 modern-day arks that he had been supervising for months. Reports indicate that hundreds of people, some traveling from neighboring countries, abandoned their homes and traveled to his ark site with luggage, creating potential humanitarian and security challenges. Authorities have expressed concern about the scale of panic that these predictions caused and the risk it posed to public safety.

Ebo Noah first gained international attention in August 2025, posting videos on TikTok and YouTube in tattered sackcloth while overseeing the construction of the arks. He claimed to have purchased over 250,000 pieces of timber, insisting that these vessels were the only refuge for the faithful in the face of the predicted flood. His videos and messages attracted a large following, with people sharing his predictions widely across social media platforms. As the months went on, many individuals reportedly prepared extensively for the flood, leaving jobs, schools, and homes in anticipation of the disaster.

When December 25 passed without incident, Ebo Noah quickly shifted his narrative. In a viral video, he claimed that his intercessions and a three-week fast had persuaded God to postpone the destruction. This sudden reversal drew ridicule from social media users and criticism from the general public, who accused him of misleading people and causing unnecessary panic. Despite the failed prediction, his followers continued to spread his messages, further complicating efforts by authorities to manage the situation.

The situation escalated further when Ebo Noah appeared on stage at rapper Sarkodie’s Rapperholic 2025 concert. Dressed in his signature robes, he urged the audience to celebrate because the predicted flood had been delayed. This public display, which many saw as tone-deaf after months of fear-mongering, sparked widespread backlash online. Many social media users called for his arrest, arguing that his actions had created a climate of unnecessary anxiety and could have led to serious consequences for those who acted on his warnings.

As Ghanaians prepare for the December 31 Watch Night services, the Ghana Police Service has reiterated that the ban on false prophecies that induce public panic remains in effect. Authorities warned that any individual who issues declarations that could create fear or tension will face legal consequences. The arrest of Ebo Noah serves as a clear reminder that the dissemination of misleading information that jeopardizes public safety is not taken lightly by law enforcement agencies.
