Why was Ebo Noah arrested?
Ebo was arrested on the orders of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.
A photo of him in handcuffs was circulated by various news outlets to confirm the news of his apprehension.
Reports indicated that the IGP’s Special Cyber Vetting Team carried out his arrest and that the self-styled prophet was facing charges of false communication, deliberately misleading the public, and publishing false news with the intent to cause fear and panic.
Ebo Noah's arrest was related to his doomsday prophecy, which failed to materialise on Christmas Day.

Ebo Noah's flood prophecy
Ebo Noah went viral in Ghana and worldwide a few months ago after videos of him building multiple structures, which appeared to be several arks in Elmina, surfaced on social media.
The young man, whom many people have accused of being a content creator, claimed to have received a divine message from God to build an ark to save people from the destruction of the world.
Ebo Noah prophesied that a catastrophic flood would destroy the earth on Thursday, December 25, 2025, and that his ark would keep humanity safe from the disaster.
In anticipation, he invited any individual who believed in his prophecy and wished to secure a place in the ark to contact him.
However, on December 24, the self-styled prophet claimed that his prophesied flood would no longer happen, explaining that God had changed his mind and would no longer destroy the world due to his fasting and prayers.
