Ebo Noah had earlier shocked his followers after boldly declaring that God had revealed to him that the world would come to an end on December 25. As the date approached, fear spread among his followers, with some reportedly making drastic personal and financial decisions in preparation for the alleged apocalypse.
However, when Christmas Day passed without incident, the preacher made a dramatic turnaround, claiming that he had pleaded with God to postpone the end of the world, a statement that only intensified public anger and ridicule.
In a twist that further fueled criticism, Ebo Noah was later spotted living lavishly. As earlier reported, he began charging up to 10 million for appearances and religious shows, attended high-profile events including Sarkodie’s concert, and restricted access to his so-called arks to those who could pay. He also reportedly started constructing a massive mansion in Accra, raising questions about exploitation of followers through fear-based prophecy.
Authorities have now moved in, arresting the preacher on allegations linked to public misinformation, exploitation, and causing panic among the public. While official charges are yet to be fully detailed, legal experts say his actions may fall under laws governing fraud, false prophecy, and public disturbance.
The arrest has been widely welcomed by the public, with many calling it a necessary step to curb the rise of self-proclaimed prophets who use sensational claims to manipulate followers for financial gain.
As investigations continue, the case of Ebo Noah has reignited broader conversations across Africa about religious accountability, regulation of churches, and the fine line between faith and deception.
