The Ghana Police Service has arrested Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, following a series of controversial end-of-year prophecies that drew nationwide attention.
The police disclosed the arrest in a statement published on their official website on Wednesday, explaining that Eshun was apprehended by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team as part of ongoing security measures ahead of 31st night religious events.
Authorities said the action was linked to previous advisories warning against public prophecies or pronouncements capable of causing fear, panic, or public disorder.
“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.”
The police emphasized that such conduct may be examined under existing laws governing public order, communications, and cyber-related offences, and urged the public to avoid speculation while investigations continue.
Eshun, who gained attention after constructing a large wooden “Ebo Noah Ark” and predicting a catastrophic flood on December 25, remains in custody to assist with ongoing investigations. Further updates are expected as the matter progresses in accordance with due process.

Nigeria should start doing same before it gets out of hand. Most of the so-called prophecies are fuelling insecurity and divisions amongst the citizens. We don't need them as they serve no purpose other than self aggrandisement.
