How Prophet Daniel was eaten up by Lions

The city of Ibadan in Oyo State, southwestern Nigeria is one of the biggest in West Africa. A standout amongst the most well known elements of this incredible stronghold of learning is its Zoological Garden, which is one of the most established in the nation. The zoo plays host to different creatures however the most incredible of all of them are the lions. For some guests, an outing to the well known zoo is not finished without seeing the lofty lions. So it was amid the Easter Lenten season of 1991, all of Ibadan was humming with energy of the season and normally, one of the prime spots of fascination for some families was the University of Ibadan Zoo. Families, couples and visitors trooped into the zoo that decisive day.
Notwithstanding, obscure to the greater part of alternate guests, there was one specific guest who had another evil plan. Religious administrator (some alluded to him as a minister or a diocesan) “Daniel” Abodunrin’s aim that critical day was not to see the lions and bring some huge pictures with them.
His objective was to show something that had never been finished. His arrangement was to reproduce what was composed in the Holy Bible a huge number of years prior. It was the tale of a Jewish kid in Jerusalem named Daniel who was caught by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon who served in the lord’s court until the season of Cyrus, the Persian sovereign.
ENTERING THE DEN OF THE LIONS
 Prophet Abodunrin aka Daniel wore a streaming red robe and grasped his huge Holy Bible. As he advanced for the lion walled in area, frightened zoo attendants yelled and cautioned him (some different records expressed that he sneaked in and everything happened quick while another adaptation has it that he figured out how to persuade one regarding the zoo managers to permit him enter and let God exhibit signs and ponders saying that the God of Daniel is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow).
One thing was clear: Abodunrin did not listen to any of those notice him. Alarmed families who were making the most of their cookout looked on with a dazing blend of stun and dread, shouts leased the tranquil climate of the zoo yet Abodunrin was simply droning Bible verses as loud as possible and talking in tongues. He made it into the walled in area of the lions and gazed at them. The lions gazed back at him. It was a most discomforting sight for everybody, including the lions. A trade of death gazes and at a point, a stunning hush fell over the entire spot. It was all like a motion picture. Sincere Christians in the group were holding up to see a confidence improving supernatural occurrence while a few others toughened their brains for the bloodiest dramatization of the century.
Driven by the energy and enthusiasm of religion and with the most extreme conviction that he would be spare by the Holy Spirit or that the heavenly attendants will deaden the lions as they accomplished for Daniel, Abodunrin did not quit droning Bible verses and talking in tongues, wriggling his body under the robes, giving what was the scene of the year for everybody in the zoo. A group had assembled. Be that as it may, inside the nook of the lions, something fascinating was going ahead with the Nigerian Daniel and the catlike brutes. As Abodunrin drew nearer them, the enormous felines withdrew and moved towards an edge of their confine, that was their nature. They pulled back from the pillaging ‘man of God’.
Right then and there, everybody was viewing the whole dramatization as though it was a fantasy. Here was a man in a streaming red robe, equipped with only an expansive Bible, drawing nearer a portion of the fiercest animals on earth. At the point when Abodunrin bounced into the lions’ pen, the lions moved into a strained retreat. Abodunrin ventured closer.
 He appeared to be resolved to dairy animals the lions and transform them into goats. He felt he had all the magnificent power and profound forces to summon holy messengers to debilitate the lions.
 He was making signals at the lions and summoning them to stay composed. He was approaching the God of Daniel who spared the prophet in Babylon to indicate marvelous force. As he made a last approach towards the lions, what happened next was…
He quoted sriptures

“No weapon that is shaped against you will flourish; And each tongue that charges you in judgment you will censure. This is the legacy of the workers of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” announces the LORD.
In a blaze, the lions lifted their enormous bodies and charged at Abodunrin. The Bible took off and he arrived with a crash. A sharp battle followed and the scared group couldn’t trust the scene before their eyes. It appeared everybody was excessively confounded or focused, making it impossible to try and do anything.
Minister Abodunrin couldn’t trust his eyes and as the lions arrived on him, the look of dread in his eyes must be better envisioned. In a matter of seconds, he was torn to shreds. He passed on the spot and the lions nibbled on his remaining parts. A solitary, very much pointed chomp from a lion is sufficient to kill a grown-up person in a matter of seconds. Abodunrin’s red robe was redder with the splatter of his blood everywhere, his torn and bloodied Bible in one corner of the lions’ enclosure.
 n a moment, the story was everywhere throughout the nation that a minister who entered the lion’s nook was destroyed to death and devoured by the brutes. Numerous couldn’t trust their ears. On the other hand, there were some Christians who really trust that the minister was a genuine man of God and that the lions were really controlled by evil spirits to have assaulted the anointed ‘man of God’. This arrangement of Christians were angered and requested that the lions be slaughtered.
