Prophet Ebo Noah, a self-styled preacher known for issuing alarming doom prophecies on social media, has been arrested by the Ghana Police Service’s Cyber Vetting Team under the direction of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
The arrest follows weeks of public concern after Ebo Noah circulated viral videos predicting catastrophic events, including deaths, disasters, and national instability. Authorities say the prophecies caused fear, panic, and psychological distress among sections of the public, particularly on platforms such as TikTok and Facebook.
According to police sources, the Cyber Vetting Team acted after reviewing multiple complaints and digital evidence linking the suspect to content deemed capable of disturbing public peace and security. Investigators say the videos were not only misleading but also violated provisions of Ghana’s cybercrime and public order laws.
Following his arrest, Prophet Ebo Noah is currently assisting police with investigations while legal processes continue. The Ghana Police Service has also issued a strong warning to individuals who use social media to spread fear, false prophecies, or unverified spiritual claims that threaten national stability.
“The freedom of worship and expression does not extend to the deliberate creation of panic or fear among citizens,” a police statement emphasized, urging the public to report similar content for prompt action.
The Police Service further encouraged Ghanaians to rely on credible information sources and avoid sharing sensational content that could inflame public anxiety.
