Content creator and self-acclaimed prophet Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, has been remanded in police custody for two weeks following the adjournment of proceedings at the Adentan Circuit Court.
The court further ordered that the suspect undergoes psychiatric evaluation at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital ahead of his next court appearance.
The assessment is expected to guide further proceedings as investigations continue.
The case was subsequently adjourned to 16 January, with the psychiatric report to be submitted before the next hearing.
Ebo Noah claimed in August 2025 that he received a divine revelation predicting that the world would end due to continuous three-year rainfall and this will begin on December 25, 2025.
The 33-year-old said God instructed him to build an ark in preparation for a catastrophic 3-year-long flood.
As Christmas approached, Christians trooped to the location of the ark, waiting to get on it to escape the flood.
On December 24, 2025, Ebo Noah disclosed that the ark was about 80 per cent complete, insisting it would be the only place of refuge when the disaster struck.
However, on Christmas Day, when there was no flood, he announced that he received another revelation stating that the anticipated flood would no longer occur, adding that God instead instructed him to build more arks.
Following the failed prophecy, operatives of the Ghana Police Service’s Special Cyber Vetting Team arrested him on 31 December 2025 in the Weija-Gbawe area of Accra while he was live-streaming online.
He was detained over allegations of spreading online disinformation and was later arraigned before the court on Friday, Jan. 2.
Prosecutors charged him with false communication, deliberately misleading the public, and publishing false news, offences they said contravene Ghana’s criminal laws.
