TRAGIC END: The Shocking Story Of How Prophet Daniel Abodunrin Was Torn Apart By Lions at U.I. Zoo In 1991 (Details below)

The grand University of Ibadan zoological garden, which proudly houses different animals ranging from lions to rabbits, in Oyo state, is one of the most thrilling and spellbinding experiences in Nigeria. It is also one of the most visited tourist destinations in Ibadan.

However, one fateful day in the Easter season of the year 1991, visitors stormed the U.I zoo, as usual, to enjoy the serene environment of the enclosure and have fun seeing different animals they have only seen on screens.

Everyone at the zoo was there 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 allegedly 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. 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.

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 and in a moment, he was torn into pieces and devoured. The prophet’s remains were collected and later buried.
