Self-proclaimed doomsday prophet Evans Eshun, widely known as Ebo Noah, has opened up about his time in police custody, offering a personal account of what he described as an unsettling but memorable period behind bars.
During a TikTok live broadcast on January 24, 2026, Ebo Noah reflected on the weeks he spent in detention, characterising the experience as physically and mentally demanding, even as he spoke about it with a measure of humour.
“Being in cells for three weeks was not easy. It was fun though. In the morning you sit like a monkey, that’s the term there and at night you sleep like a fish,” he said during the session.
Ebo Noah was arrested on December 31, 2025, by the Special Cyber Vetting Team of the Ghana Police Service following public alarm generated by his prophetic claims. He was later granted bail on January 15, 2026, in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties. One of the sureties is required to present verifiable security, either in the form of landed property or a vehicle.
The court also issued a firm caution that the bail terms must be fully respected, stressing that any violation could lead to the immediate withdrawal of the bail privilege.
The matter has since been adjourned to March 18, 2026, to allow additional time for both the prosecution and the defence to adequately prepare for the next phase of the proceedings. The court is expected to resume hearing the case on that date.
Ebo Noah is facing a charge of publishing false news with the intent to cause fear and panic, stemming from his earlier declaration that the world would be destroyed by a flood on December 25, 2025. The prophecy did not materialise, drawing widespread public attention and criticism.
Ahead of his arrest, the self-styled prophet had built what he referred to as an “ark” at his residence, claiming it was meant to preserve humanity ahead of the foretold catastrophe. After the predicted event failed to occur, he later asserted that divine intervention, through his prayers, had delayed the destruction of the world.
