I Knew Ebo Noah Was Creating Content – Sarkodie

 

Rapper Sarkodie has broken his silence on the arrest of controversial self-styled prophet, Ebo Noah, insisting the viral figure was merely creating content and not committing a crime.

In an Instagram story posted on January 2, 2026, Sarkodie reacted to a circulating video showing Evans Eshun, popularly known as Ebo Noah, in handcuffs as he was escorted into a police vehicle. The rapper questioned the basis of the arrest, suggesting that Ebo Noah’s actions had been misunderstood.

“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,” Sarkodie wrote, casting doubt on the seriousness of Ebo Noah’s widely publicised prophecy.

Ebo Noah was arrested on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, by the Ghana Police Service after months of nationwide anxiety sparked by his prediction of a catastrophic flood scheduled for December 25, 2025. The prophecy, which drew comparisons to the biblical story of Noah, claimed that a three-year global flood would begin on Christmas Day.

The 33-year-old content creator gained viral attention in late 2025 by documenting himself on TikTok and YouTube as he built wooden “arks” in places such as Elmina and Kumasi. He claimed the vessels were meant to save believers and said he was building up to 10 of them on divine instruction.

When no flood occurred on December 25, Ebo Noah told followers that his prayers and fasting had convinced God to postpone the disaster, a claim that further fuelled public backlash.

Outrage intensified after he appeared on stage at Sarkodie’s Rapperholic 2025 concert on December 25—the same day the predicted flood was expected to begin.

Police later arrested him in the Weija-Gbawe area for allegedly spreading false news and causing fear and panic. On January 2, 2026, the Adentan Circuit Court remanded him into police custody for two weeks and ordered a psychiatric evaluation at the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital.

Ebo Noah is expected to reappear in court on January 16, 2026.
