In a statement released on Wednesday via its official website, the Ghana Police Service disclosed that Eshun was arrested by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Cyber Vetting Team.
According to the police, the suspect is currently in custody to assist with ongoing investigations.
“The suspect remains in police custody as investigations continue. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction,” the statement said.
Authorities have not yet announced any formal charges, court appearance dates, or bail conditions. It is also unclear whether other individuals may be involved in the matter.
The police urged members of the public to remain calm and refrain from speculation, assuring that due process would be followed throughout the investigation.
Ebo Noah rose to national and international prominence after constructing several large wooden structures he described as modern-day arks, claiming they were built under divine instruction.
He had predicted that a catastrophic global flood would begin on December 25, following what he described as a revelation of prolonged rainfall that would destroy the world.
Videos of the ark construction and his prophecies went viral, attracting visitors and followers from across Ghana and beyond.
Last week, Ebo Noah released a video stating that the predicted disaster did not occur because he allegedly received a new revelation after prayers, fasting, and consultations with other religious leaders.
He claimed that he was granted additional time to build more arks, explaining that the number of people seeking refuge exceeded the capacity of the structures already built.
The development sparked mixed reactions online, ranging from disbelief and criticism to calls for regulatory oversight of religious claims.
