Why Ghana Police Freed Man Over Fake Prophecy Of World Ending
Ghanaian authorities briefly arrested Prophet Eboh Noah over his prophecy that caused Ghana residents to rush to secure spaces inside one of eight arks built by Prophet Eboh Noah, who claimed God revealed to him that the world would end December 25 by a mass flood.
The self-proclaimed Ghana preacher, who had predicted massive floods on December 25 and offered protection on his “Noah’s Ark”, has now said that the apocalypse had been “postpone.”
He since claimed that God postponed the end of the world in answer to prayers made by him and others.
The prophecy, which he said would be fulfilled on December 25, prompted panic, curiosity and widespread reactions both online and offline.
According to the prophet, only those inside his arks would be saved when the flood begins, a claim that has triggered panic, curiosity, and intense online reactions across Ghana and beyond.
After police arrested Noah, they later released him on the grounds that making religious prophecies did not amount to a criminal offence.
Drama began in Ghana following the circulation of a video showing Eboh Noah’s ark, who claimed God has revealed that the world was billed to be destroyed by a flood, similar to the biblical account of Noah.
He constructed eight arks and warned that only those inside them will be saved when the anticipated flood occurs.
Large numbers of Ghanaians trooped to the site in an effort to secure space inside the arks ahead of the predicted “judgement on earth.”
Videos and images shared on social media show crowds gathering around the structures, fueling debate and concern across the country.
