Accra, March 18, – The Adenta Circuit Court has adjourned the trial of Evans Eshun, aka Ebo Noah, to June 10, 2026. The preacher, who had claimed that God would destroy the world with a flood on December 25, 2025, remains on bail.
The adjournment followed the prosecution’s indication that its disclosures were still being prepared. Eshun, 33, a security guard, appeared in court wearing a white top and nude trousers, accompanied by his mother and relatives.
He is currently on GH¢100,000 bail with two sureties, one of which must be backed by land or a vehicle, and has been ordered to report weekly to the police.
Eshun faces charges of publishing false news with intent to cause fear and panic, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Between August and December 2025, he allegedly posted videos on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube claiming a global flood was imminent and that he was building an ark.
The Ghana Police Service is the complainant in the case. Eshun admitted circulating the videos in his cautioned statement but clarified that the boat he called an ark belonged to fishermen in Edina, Central Region. He told investigators the content was created to gain social media followers, not to incite panic.
