The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, following actions taken by its Special Cyber Vetting Team
In a statement released on Wednesday via its official website, the police said Eshun was taken into custody as part of ongoing efforts to monitor and curb cyber-related activities, particularly ahead of 31st night religious services.
The confirmation came after widespread online speculation linked the arrest to recent security warnings cautioning individuals against making public prophecies or declarations that could incite fear, panic or public disorder.
While addressing the reports, the police stopped short of revealing the specific allegations against Eshun or detailing the conduct under investigation.
“The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of a man identified as Evans Eshun, also known as Ebo Noah, by the Inspector General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team.
“The arrest was carried out as part of ongoing police efforts to monitor and address cyber related activities, particularly in the period leading up to 31st night religious services.
“Police confirmation follows reports circulating online suggesting the arrest was linked to warnings issued by security agencies regarding the conduct of individuals making public declarations and prophecies that could cause fear or public disorder. At this stage, police have not publicly detailed the specific allegations against the suspect or the nature of the conduct under investigation.”
Last Thursday, Ebo Noah released a video message in which he claimed that a previously announced prophesied disaster did not occur because he later received a new revelation. He said the development followed intense prayers, fasting and consultations with other religious leaders.
According to him, the new vision showed that the number of people seeking refuge in the ark from across the world far exceeded its capacity. He added that he appealed to God for intervention and was granted more time to build additional arks to accommodate everyone.
