Ghana Police Arrest Ebo Noah Over Failed Public Prophecies

The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, following widespread public attention around a series of religious predictions that sparked debate and concern online.

In a statement published on its official website on Wednesday, the police said Eshun was arrested by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team.

According to the statement, the Ebo Noah arrest is part of broader security measures aimed at monitoring cyber-related activities ahead of end-of-year religious gatherings, including 31st night crossover services.

“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 statement read.

The police explained that the action followed online reports linking the arrest to earlier security advisories cautioning against public statements or prophecies capable of inciting fear, panic, or disrupting public order.

At this stage, authorities have not disclosed specific allegations or detailed the exact conduct under investigation.

The Police Service reiterated that, in previous years, individuals and organizations have been warned against making public declarations that could compromise public safety, particularly during sensitive periods such as end-of-year religious events. Officials noted that existing laws governing public communication, cyber activities, and public order may apply to such situations.

Police sources confirmed that Eshun remains in custody to assist with ongoing investigations. No formal charges, court dates, or bail conditions have been announced, and it remains unclear whether other individuals are being investigated in connection with the case.

The police urged the public to remain calm, avoid speculation, and respect due process, stressing that anyone under investigation is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Further official updates are expected as investigations continue.
