“God Told Me To Build An Ark!” — Ghana’s Prophet Noah Arrested After Flood Prophecy Flops
The rain never came. The floods never rose. And now, the self-styled prophet who vowed the world would end in a cataclysmic deluge on Christmas Day has found himself in very real, and very dry, legal hot water.
Ebo Noah, born Evans Eshun, was arrested by the Ghana Police Service on New Year’s Eve, capping a bizarre week that saw his apocalyptic prophecy crumble into global ridicule and now, a police investigation. The so-called prophet had captured national and international attention in the lead-up to Christmas 2025 by claiming a direct, divine mandate.
In a series of widely shared online videos, Ebo Noah stated he had received a vision warning of torrential rains and earth-destroying floods set for December 25. His holy instruction? To build modern-day arks to save true believers from the impending doom. He claimed to have constructed several of these vessels, urging followers to trust in his message and prepare for the end.
Social media platforms buzzed with a mix of alarm, skepticism, and fascination as the story spread. However, as December 25 dawned and passed with entirely normal weather, public criticism swiftly eclipsed curiosity. The prophet’s timelines filled with demands for accountability from both angered believers and amused onlookers.
The legal reckoning came on December 31. The Ghana Police Service’s Special Cyber Vetting Team picked up Ebo Noah, launching a formal investigation into the spread of false information and the incitement of public panic linked to his claims.
Authorities confirmed the arrest stems from serious concerns over misinformation and its tangible impact on the public. “Investigations are ongoing,” stated a police representative, emphasizing the seriousness with which they are treating the case of mass deception.
The saga of Ebo Noah serves as a stark, modern parable about the viral nature of doomsday prophecies in the digital age and the potential consequences of using online platforms to peddle fear. For now, the only thing flooded is the prophet’s inbox with criticism, and the only vessel he’ll be entering is a police cell.
