Accra, Jan. 16, GNA- Evans Eshun, also known as Ebo Noah, a security guard who claimed God will destroy the world with flood on December 25, 2025, has been granted bail.
The Adenta Circuit Court granted Eshun, a self-acclaimed preacher, a GHc100,000 bail with two sureties, one to be justified with landed property or a car.
The trial judge, Angela Attachie, ordered Eshun, 33, to be reporting once a week to the police.
Charged with publication of false news with intent to cause fear and panic, Eshun has pleaded not guilty.
When the matter was called, Mr Emmanuel Sarpong, defence counsel, prayed the court for a copy of the report on the psychiatric assessment on his client.
Soon after he was furnished with the report, the court asked that Eshun’s plea should be taken.
Defence Counsel prayed the court to offer Eshun the option of providing a landed property as justification instead of a car.
The prosecution, led by chief inspectors Maxwell Lanyo and Eric Ransford Abban, earlier told the court that the police was substituting the charge sheet filed on January 2, 2026, on with a new one filed on January 15, 2026.
Giving the facts, the prosecution said the complainant was the Ghana Police Service.
Eshun was a security guard in Accra and between August and December 2025, Eshun published several videos on his Facebook, TikTok and YouTube accounts under the name @ Ebo Noah.
In those videos he claimed that the world would be destroyed by flood on December 25, 2025 and that he was constructing an Ark to accommodate persons who wished to be saved.
Prosecution said on December 31, 2025, following an intelligence led operation, Eshun was arrested at his hideout at Weija-Gbawe in the Greater Accra Region.
In his investigation cautioned statement, he admitted to making and circulating the said videos on social media.
Eshun, however, stated that he did not own the boat he referred to as an Ark but rather belonged to some fishermen at a Boat Yard at Edina in the Central Region.
Prosecution said he admitted making false claims and that there was no impeding flood intended to destroy the world.
Eshun said he made those videos for content to gain followers on social media.
