Evans Eshun, also known as Ebo Noah, a self-described prophet, has been granted GH¢100,000 bail by the Adenta Circuit Court.
He is accused of disseminating false information with the intention of inciting fear and terror.
The contentious individual is now temporarily free while his case is pending thanks to the court’s grant of bail with two sureties, one of whom must be justified with landed property.
The self-proclaimed prophet’s unusual public behaviour and dramatic assertions that garnered national attention prompted the presiding judge to seek a mental evaluation during the previous sitting.
Ebo Noah went viral after stating he was building an ark to save humanity from an imminent catastrophic flood. This claim aroused broad public concern and a heated social media discussion.
Prosecutors claim that his words were intended to mislead the public and cause fear, while the defence claims that the accusations would be fought in court.
The case has been postponed until March 18, 2026, while investigations continue. The court is anticipated to further investigate Ebo Noah’s mental competence to stand trial.
