Ebo Noah Arrested (2).webp
The Digest:

Ebo Noah, the man whose failed prophecy of a world-ending flood on Christmas Day caused widespread public alarm in Ghana, has been ordered by a court to undergo a psychiatric evaluation as he faces charges for sparking panic.

Key Points:
  • The Adenta District Court ordered Evans Eshun, known as Prophet Ebo Noah, to be remanded and undergo a psychiatric examination.
  • He is charged with false communication and causing fear and panic after predicting a global flood for December 25, 2025.
  • Noah was arrested by the Ghana Police Service's Special Cyber Vetting Team on December 31, 2025, following the failed prophecy.
  • Before the non-event, he had constructed an "ark" at his premises, claiming it would save humanity from the impending disaster.
  • After the date passed without incident, Noah reportedly revised his prophecy, claiming his prayers had postponed the destruction.
  • The case has drawn significant public and media attention, highlighting the tension between religious expression and public order.
  • He is scheduled to reappear in court on January 15, 2026, pending the results of the psychiatric assessment.
This legal action reframes a public spectacle of faith as a case of criminal alarm, asking whether the prophet was divinely inspired, dangerously misguided, or consciously manipulative in a society navigating the fine line between belief and public safety.
