33years In Retrospect: How Would-Be Daniel Mauled To Death By Lions


.....effort to retell the biblical account became horrendous scene 


There are stories individuals are told as they grow up. Some of these tales are folktales, while others are based on mythology and folkloric tales. One more sort of these accounts are errors individuals made in genuine life altering situations, which can act as an illustration to kids growing up.

In the event that you want to hear an account of a priest who overdared nature, thinking about the force of God, then, at that point, OYO affairs reported puzzling occurrence that occurred in the city of the Brownroof in the year 1991. 33 years have passed since the incident.

Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, is the biggest city in Nigeria and the third in Africa after Cairo and Johannesburg. The city, which is in the southwest of Nigeria, is well-known for its fascinating cultures, way of life, history, and breathtaking tourist destinations.


One of the most visited vacationer locations in Ibadan is the College of Ibadan zoological garden which gladly houses creatures from lions to hares. During holidays, many Ibadan families make it a tradition to spend time together and have fun at the zoo.

Thus, on a critical (later horrendous) day in the Easter time of the year 1991, guests raged the U.I zoo as expected to partake in the tranquil climate of the nook and have a great time seeing various creatures they have just seen on screens. Of the multitude of creatures in the zoo, the lions draw in the largest number of guests. It might be reasoned that a visit to the U.I. zoo without seeing the lions is incomplete.

As previously mentioned, on that day, everyone was at the zoo to make some pleasant memories seeing the creatures and taking pictures, with the exception of a man, a striking and trying prophet by the name of Daniel Abodurin, who needed to show individuals 'crafted by Lord of Daniel' by strolling into the lions' enclosure to contact them as Daniel did in the holy book without getting battered. Prophet Abodurin wanted to retell the biblical account of a young man named Daniel who, out of enmity, was thrown to some lions that turned out to have been tamed in a strange way. According to the biblical account, God sent down some angels to seal the lions' mouths.


Prophet Daniel Abodurin approached some employees of the zoo and begged for entry into the lions' enclosure. Nobody in their right faculties would give ears to this sort of request, so the prophet was turned down. However, the prophet's insane wish was realized after much confusion and persuasion.

Another record has it that Prophet Abodurin slipped into the lions' enclosure. He eventually made his way into the cage, whether or not he had done any sneaking. Many individuals present at the scene couldn't completely accept that how the situation was playing out, and acknowledging it was anything but a fantasy, they arranged their psyches for the most obviously terrible outcome. Prophet Daniel Abodurin was dressed in a red robe, and under his armpit was a major book of scriptures. As he entered the enclosure, he started discussing book of scriptures stanzas and talking in tongues, and calling unto the 'Lord of Daniel' to perform miracles.

It was assembled that he was yelling Jah, jah, jah, which was accepted to be an abbreviated type of Jehovah. From the outset, the lions withdrew to an edge of their enclosure. Obscure to the to-be African form of Daniel, withdrawing is the principal thing lions do when they see something strange in their region, and later they dispose of it. Prophet Abodurin thought his confidence was truly working. He moved closer to the lions and continued to recite Bible verses. Suddenly, the lions attacked the bewildered, perplexed, and horrified prophet. A virus stream of shock ran down the spines of the frightened spectators

Prophet Daniel Abodurin combat for his dear life, yet his solidarity was no counterpart for that of the strong lions, and in a second, he was attacked pieces and gobbled up. His ridiculous red robe lay in pieces, and his book of scriptures, which he had flung away toward the start of the assault, was canvassed in dust. The zoo saw a stampede as people ran for their lives after witnessing a horrific scene they will never forget.



The prophet's remains were taken in and buried later. Prophet Daniel Abodurin died bitterly and horribly in that manner.

Some believed the lions were possessed by demons stronger than the prophet and demanded that they be killed, while others condemned the prophet for his bizarre behavior.
