The Adentan Circuit Court has remanded a content creator and self-styled prophet, Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, into police custody for two weeks.
Ebo Noah has been charged with false communication, deliberately misleading the public, and publishing false news, offences that prosecutors say violate Ghana’s criminal laws.
At the hearing, the court ordered that the accused undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital to assess his mental condition and determine whether he is fit to stand trial.
The case has been adjourned to January 16, 2025, and the psychiatric report is expected to be submitted before the next court sitting.
Ebo Noah, aged 33, was arrested in Weija-Gbawe while live-streaming online. His arrest followed videos in which he predicted a global flood beginning on December 25, 2025, later claiming that God had postponed it.
Police say the claims caused fear and anxiety among members of the public and his followers. The arrest, according to authorities, forms part of efforts to combat online misinformation and maintain public order.
