Ebo Noah: Man who predicted world-ending flood granted GH¢100,000 bail
Evans Eshun, also known as Ebo Noah, the 33-year-old security guard and self-acclaimed preacher who claimed that God would destroy the world with a flood on December 25, 2025, has been granted bail by the Adenta Circuit Court.
The court, presided over by Mrs Angela Attachie, admitted Eshun to bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties, one of whom must be justified with landed property or a vehicle. The judge further ordered the accused to report to the police once a week.
Eshun has been charged with the publication of false news with the intent to cause fear and panic and has pleaded not guilty.
When the case was called, defence counsel, Mr Emmanuel Sarpong, requested a copy of the psychiatric assessment report conducted on his client. After the report was made available, the court proceeded to take Eshun’s plea.
Mr Sarpong subsequently prayed the court to allow his client the option of providing landed property as justification for bail instead of a vehicle.
Earlier, the prosecution, led by Chief Inspectors Maxwell Lanyo and Eric Ransford Abban, informed the court that the police had substituted the charge sheet initially filed on January 2, 2026, with a new one dated January 15, 2026.
Presenting the facts of the case, the prosecution said the complainant was the Ghana Police Service. It told the court that Eshun, who worked as a security guard in Accra, between August and December 2025, published several videos on Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
According to the prosecution, in the videos the accused claimed that the world would be destroyed by a flood on December 25, 2025, and that he was constructing an Ark to accommodate people who wished to be saved.
The court heard that on December 31, 2025, following an intelligence-led operation, Eshun was arrested at his hideout at Weija-Gbawe in the Greater Accra Region.
In his cautioned statement to the police, Eshun admitted to making and circulating the videos on social media. However, he said he did not own the boat he referred to as an Ark, explaining that it belonged to some fishermen at a boat yard in Edina in the Central Region.
The prosecution said Eshun admitted making false claims and conceded that there was no impending flood intended to destroy the world.
He further told investigators that he made the videos as content to gain followers on social media. The case has been adjourned.
