The story of Prophet Daniel Aboderin at the University of Ibadan Zoo in 1991 is one that blends religious fervor with a tragic outcome. Prophet Daniel Aboderin, a Christian preacher, attempted to replicate the biblical story of the Prophet Daniel, who, according to scripture, was thrown into a lions' den but was miraculously spared from death by divine intervention.
Aboderin believed that, like his biblical namesake, he could demonstrate the power of faith by entering the lions' den at the University of Ibadan Zoo. On a fateful day in 1991, filled with a sense of religious conviction, Aboderin entered the lions' cage, convinced that God would protect him from harm. He intended to reenact the miracle described in the Book of Daniel, where lions, under God's command, did not attack the prophet.

However, in stark contrast to the biblical account, the lions did not spare him. Instead, they mauled him to death. The tragic event shocked witnesses and garnered widespread media attention, raising questions about faith, miracles, and the limits of human belief. This incident remains one of Nigeria’s most talked-about tragedies tied to religious zeal.
Aboderin's death is often cited as a cautionary tale about the dangers of misinterpreting religious texts and the consequences of testing faith in extreme ways.
