Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has publicly responded to the arrest of self-proclaimed modern-day Noah, Evans Eshun, also known as Ebo Noah, questioning the actions of security authorities. He suggested that Ebo Noah may have been creating content, rather than engaging in criminal activity.
On January 2, 2026, Sarkodie posted a video on his Instagram story, showing Ebo Noah heavily handcuffed and escorted into a police vehicle. Reflecting on the footage, Sarkodie expressed uncertainty about the specific charges against Ebo Noah, stating, “I don’t know exactly what my boy’s crime is, but from day one, I knew he was making content, unless he’s been charged with something else.”
The rapper’s comment implied that Ebo Noah’s widely publicized prophecy, which had caused nationwide concern, may not have been intended to be taken literally.
Ebo Noah was arrested on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, by the Ghana Police Service after months of widespread panic stirred by his prophecy of a devastating flood set to occur on December 25, 2025. The arrest followed weeks of heightened anxiety and media attention.
The 30-year-old first gained national attention in August 2025, claiming that he had received a divine instruction to construct 10 modern-day arks to save humanity from a predicted global flood, set to begin on Christmas Day. His videos, posted on TikTok and YouTube, showed him dressed in sackcloth and overseeing the construction of wooden vessels, which he claimed were the only safe haven for those who believed in his prophecy.
As he continued to promote his message, authorities raised alarms about the widespread fear his claims were causing. Reports suggested that hundreds of followers, some from neighboring countries, abandoned their homes and traveled to his ark site, bringing luggage in anticipation of the flood.
When December 25 passed without any rain or flooding, Ebo Noah released a video claiming that his prayers and a three-week fast had convinced God to postpone the disaster. The situation intensified when he appeared at Sarkodie’s Rapperholic 2025 concert on December 25, still dressed in his signature sackcloth. There, he told the audience to celebrate, claiming the predicted doom had been delayed.
His appearance at the concert sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many accusing him of deceiving the public after months of inciting fear. Calls for his arrest grew louder, as critics claimed he had misled the public with his false prophecy.
