“My son has no ark. He can’t even afford a single boat, let alone own an ark,” the saddened woman explained.

“He is not crazy. Ebo was only influenced by pressure online to also earn something for himself.

I am calling on the President, John Dramani Mahama; the former President, Nana Akufo-Addo; the IGP, Christian Yohuno; Otumfuo Osei Tutu II; and Nana Ama McBrown to help my son.

That is the only thing a mother can do for her child. Please help him,” the elderly woman shared.

Ebo Noah’s flood prophecy

Ebo Noah went viral in Ghana and beyond after videos surfaced online showing him constructing multiple large wooden structures in Elmina, which were believed to be replicas of Noah's Ark.

The young man, whom many have described as a content creator, claimed he received a divine instruction from God to build an ark to save humanity from global destruction.

According to his prophecy, a catastrophic flood was expected to destroy the world on Thursday, December 25, 2025, with his ark serving as a refuge for believers. In the build-up to the date, he invited individuals who believed in the prophecy and wished to secure a place in the ark to contact him.

@oseiadam75 shared:

“They have to release the man. He put fear into some of us, but this is not something serious.”

@_mrahenkorah stated:

“We all make mistakes. The government should hear his mother’s plea and give him 10 years in prison.”

@Onas_foods commented:

“Mama, there’s nothing to be pleading for. He did nothing wrong; the system failed him. We all knew it was content. The guy should be released, and fake prophets arrested.”
