A top rapper just defended a viral prophet arrested over a fake flood prediction. Sarkodie questioned the arrest of content creator Ebo Noah, suggesting he was only making online material. The musician posted a statement doubting any real crime occurred, reacting to footage of the handcuffed prophet being placed into a police vehicle.
Ebo Noah had sparked widespread anxiety with a prophecy about a catastrophic three-year global flood. He built wooden arks in locations like Elmina and Kumasi, claiming divine instruction to save believers. When the predicted disaster failed to happen, he stated his prayers had postponed it, increasing public anger.
His appearance at Sarkodie's concert on the very day the flood was expected intensified backlash. Ghana Police arrested him in the Weija-Gbawe area for spreading false news and causing public fear and panic. A circuit court later remanded him into police custody and ordered a psychiatric evaluation at a hospital.
The content creator is scheduled for a future court appearance following the two-week remand period.
