Ghanaian social media personality Evans Eshun, widely known as Ebo Noah, has become the centre of national attention following his arrest and subsequent release on bail over a controversial doomsday prophecy that spread rapidly online. The 33-year-old TikTok content creator, known for his religious-themed videos and prophetic messages, was granted bail of GH¢100,000 by the Adenta Circuit Court on 15 January 2026, with two sureties required. Ebo Noah’s legal troubles began in late December 2025 after he posted videos predicting a devastating flood in parts of Ghana. The prophecy quickly went viral, causing fear and uncertainty among sections of the public. In some areas, residents reportedly panicked, prompting emergency and disaster management agencies to issue public statements reassuring citizens that there was no imminent threat. Following the public reaction, the Ghana Police Service arrested Ebo Noah on 31 December 2025, accusing him of publishing false information likely to cause fear and alarm. His arrest sparked widespread debate on social media and in public forums, with many questioning where the line should be drawn between freedom of expression, religious belief, and public safety in the digital age. At his initial court appearance, Ebo Noah was remanded into custody, and the court ordered a psychiatric evaluation to assess his mental state. This decision intensified national discussion, with supporters arguing that he was being punished for his faith, while prosecutors maintained that his actions went beyond religious expression and constituted the spread of misinformation. After the psychiatric report was submitted, the court granted him bail and adjourned the case to 18 March 2026. As Ebo Noah awaits the next hearing, his case has become a defining moment in Ghana’s efforts to regulate online content and hold influential digital creators accountable for their impact on public order.
