Prophet of DOOM

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

At Ibadon zoo in south-west Nigeria, a self-proclaimed Prophet claimed to be able to do what the Daniel of the bible did by walking into a den full of lions.

Though he was warned numerous times by zoo keepers, according to NG Newspapers, the Prophet thought of them as nothing more than enemies of progress. The Prophet, with a crowd of people watching, put on a long red robe and proceeded to enter the cage full of lions.

Within seconds of opening the door, the lions ripped the Prophet from flesh to bone.

Note: this was found here, toward the bottom:

Definitely Toss: Urban Legend
Thanks, but without some sort of independent verification (like a mainstream news source) this just sounds too much like an urban legend to me. Zookeepers warned him not to enter a cage, yet let him anyway? Does this zoo not keep locks on cage doors, or do they freely let anybody into cages who simply ask for a face-to-face visit with the animals? Something is VERY fishy about this story. Thanks just the same.
