Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, is the largest city in Nigeria and the third in Africa after Cairo and Johannesburg. The city which lies in the south-western part of Nigeria is known for its rich and fascinating cultures, lifestyle, history and spellbinding tourist destinations. One of the most visited tourist destinations in Ibadan is the University of Ibadan zoological garden which proudly houses different animals ranging from lions to rabbits. It is a popular custom of many families living in Ibadan to visit the zoo during festive periods to hang out and have fun as well. So, on a fateful (later bloody) day in the Easter season of the year 1991, visitors stormed the University of Ibadan zoo as usual to enjoy the serene environment of the enclosure and have fun seeing different animals they have only seen on screens. Of all the animals in the zoo, the lions attract the highest number of visitors. It can even be concluded that a visit to Ibadan varsity zoo without seeing the lions is not complete.
As aforementioned, on that day, everybody was at the zoo to have a nice time seeing the animals and taking pictures, except a man, a bold and daring prophet by the name Daniel Abodurin who wanted to show people the ‘work of God of Daniel‘ by walking into the lions’ cage to touch them like Daniel did in the bible without getting mauled. Prophet Abodurin’s intention was to recreate the biblical story of a young man named Daniel who out of envy was thrown to some lions that turned out to have been mysteriously tamed. The biblical story has it that God sent down some angels to shut the mouths of the lions.
The determined Prophet Daniel Abodurin walked up to some staffs of the zoo and pleaded to gain entry into the lions’ cage. No one in his or her right senses will give ears to this kind of plea, so the prophet was turned down. But after much disturbance and persuasion, the prophet’s insane wish was granted. Another account has it that Prophet Abodurin sneaked into the lions’ cage. Sneaking or no sneaking, he eventually found his way into the cage. Many people present at the scene could not believe what their eyes were seeing, and realizing it was not a dream, they prepared their mind for the worst result. Prophet Daniel Abodurin was clothed in a red robe and under his armpit was a big bible. As he entered the cage, he began reciting bible verses and speaking in tongues and calling unto the ‘God of Daniel’ to perform wonders. OldNaija.com gathered that he was shouting jah, jah, jah which was believed to be a shortened form of Jehovah.
At first, the lions retreated to a corner of their cage. Unknown to the to-be African version of Daniel, retreating is the first thing lions do when they see something unusual in their territory and later they get rid of it. Prophet Abodurin thought his faith was really working. He moved nearer to the lions and kept chanting bible verses, then in a flash, the lions pounced on the bemused, confused and horrified prophet.
A cold stream of shock ran down the spines of the terrified onlookers. Prophet Daniel Abodurin battled for his dear life but his strength was no match for that of the hefty lions, and in a moment, he was torn into pieces and devoured. His bloody red robe laid in shreds and his bible which he had flung away at the beginning of the attack was covered in dusts. Stampede ensued in the zoo as people took to their heels after seeing such a horrible sight they will never forget in their lives. The prophet’s remains were collected and later buried. That was how Prophet Daniel Abodurin met his bitter and horrible end.
What remained of the audacious preacher was later recovered and you can see it in the photo below
Many people condemned the prophet for such a bizarre act while others believed the lions were possessed by demons stronger than the prophet and demanded that they should be killed. While some believe that he is not a true man of God who just wanted to test his juju support s

No body challenges a lion and goes to his house and sleep. Use your tongue to count your teeth. I dey Lough ooooo
People are so gullible to have ignorantly rated and dignified their fellow human being (a Nigerian headed by a LGA chairman) as a spiritual head of the universe)! Audacity in falsehood.
You see sometimes we use our hands to cause the problems we are facing today, what on earth prompt you to use that picture, did you even know the person in the picture you are using please try and delete that picture thank you and pray for forgiveness.
Those of u who write tabloids to the gullible public, using a revered name or picture to hoodwink the public, be very very careful so u don’t bring damnination to urself & ur generation unborn( Matt 12, 36-37..1st peter 3, 10-11).The picture u have on ur post is the picture of the sole spiritual Head of the Universe, Great Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. Desecrating his picture with some fakeness smacks preconceived contempt. If u like make a restitution in prayers, if u like u may treat it with levity, the choice is urs. He who has ear to hear let him hear.
Ordinarily I would not comment because I know you are writing to gain cheap relevance and to sniff money out of your unsuspecting readers but for misleading the public by using a picture you should not have used, I decide to comment. Ever read that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God (Hebrews 10:31) and that offences will come and woe to whomever offences will come from it’s better for him that he isn’t alive (Luke 17:1-2), and finally, a sin against the Father will be forgiven, against the Son same but against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven in this generation or another to come (Matthew 12:32) Therefore, I advise that you remove the picture of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu that you do not know and pray for forgiveness immediately. The prodigal son sinned against his Father and returned to confess and was forgiven (Luke 15:11-32). He is just to forgive you if you genuinely seek forgiveness (1st John 1:9). Also, research before you write and share that you may not run at vàriance with the authorities. Put God and humanity first in your dealings (John 15:12).
