Following weeks of public speculation, the Ghana Police have officially confirmed the arrest of Ebo Noah, the man behind the viral global flood prophecy.
According to GhanaSky.com reporter, Police investigations have now revealed his real identity, academic qualifications, professional background, and the specific charges filed against him. The case has renewed discussions on digital misinformation, false prophecy, and public safety in the age of social media.
Why Was Ebo Noah Arrested?
According to the Ghana Police CID, Ebo Noah was arrested for false communication intended to deceive the public and for causing fear and panic through social media.
His apocalyptic prophecy, which claimed that God had revealed a vision of a worldwide flood similar to the biblical Noah’s flood, failed to occur on the stated date. Despite this, Ebo Noah later claimed that God had “extended the time,” further intensifying confusion and concern among his followers.
Arrest During TikTok Live Session
Police reports indicate that Ebo Noah was arrested by the Inspector General of Police (IGP)’s Special Cyber Vetting Team while he was live on TikTok, interacting with followers and discussing his prophecy.
The arrest followed intelligence gathering and digital monitoring by law enforcement agencies amid growing public complaints.
