Details of Ebo Noah’s education and career

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh on Instagram, Chief Superintendent Seth Sewornu, the Director of the Special Investigations Unit at the CID Headquarters, shared details of the social media personality's background and arrest.

He said that Ebo Noah, whose real name is Evans Eshun, faced charges of false communication meant to deceive the public and of causing fear and panic in connection to his prophecy about the end of the world via a global flood.

The senior police official also shared details of the police's investigation into the self-styled prophet's background, disclosing that Ebo Noah graduated from the Accra Technical University (ATU) with an HND in Purchasing and Supply and worked as a security guard at a private school in Madina, Accra.

"He is a security man at Cecilia School, a private school in Madina. He is not a man of God; he has no church, nothing. He graduated from Accra Polytechnic (now Accra Technical University) with an HND in purchasing and supply. He's not mentally unstable, as some people say; he's just a fraudster.

His excuse was that he was a content creator. If he was just joking, he should have informed the public. Somebody came from Liberia to join the boat. So he's in custody for deceiving the public and causing fear and panic," Sewornu said.

Below is the Instagram video of Superintendent Sewornu sharing details about Ebo Noah.

Journalist criticises Ebo Noah's arrest

In an interview with YEN.com.gh, journalist Emmanuel Frimpong criticised the decision to arrest Ebo Noah as 'selective enforcement'.

"If Ebo Noah is arrested for “spreading fear and panic,” then he cannot be the only one. Ghana’s religious landscape is littered with doomsday prophecies, aircraft crash predictions, assassination forecasts, and annual “national calamity” declarations, many delivered on television, radio, and social media with no restraint and no consequence. Some have caused genuine distress, altered travel plans, scared families, and even affected markets. So why this one man?

"This is why the “scapegoat” argument holds weight. Selective enforcement is more dangerous than no enforcement at all. When the state suddenly chooses one individual to make an example of, without a clear, consistently applied framework, it creates the impression of arbitrariness, or worse, quiet persecution masked as law enforcement."
