Ghanaian Police Arrest Evans Ichon, Known as 'Abou Nouh', Ending Doomsday Fundraising Scheme

During the New Year's Eve of 2026, Ghanaian police concluded their pursuit of Evans Ichon, known as "Abou Nouh," who falsely claimed to know the date of the apocalypse and deceived many.

Ichon raised significant amounts of money from his followers under the pretense of building a boat to save humanity from an alleged flood, later asserting that God had canceled the disaster, which sparked outrage on social media.

A Major Arrest Operation

The police successfully apprehended Ichon on New Year's Eve after a large-scale security operation that included questioning his family and neighbors, following several failed attempts to detain him.
Ghanaians are now awaiting legal action against him, amid concerns regarding the total funds raised and the number of victims affected by this fraudulent prophecy.

A Warning Against Exploiting Beliefs

Experts emphasize that this case is not merely a scam but serves as a serious warning against those who exploit religious beliefs for personal gain at the expense of others.
