A so-called Nigerian holy man locked himself in a cage with three lions to demonstrate his ‘divine protection’, like in the biblical story of Daniel, who was saved by the beasts by God himself.
The pastor leader, who wanted to prove that “nothing can happen to a man of God”, even appeared to invite his congregation to the animal park to witness the stunt – and it appears he came out unscathed even after putting his arm in one of the animal’s mouths.
However, the BBC claim that the man is not a man of god at all, saying that he is in fact a zoo keeper.
And instead of being wowed by the godly grace of the stunt, Kenyan MP Ronald Karauri, 45, offered to pay for the pastor to be sent to the Maasai Mara National Reserve to try the stunt with wild lions, after he noticed the viral footage.
The MP said: “I volunteer to take him to the Maasai Mara please, all expenses paid. We look for the lions and he can go walk with them.”
One local agreed and commented: “I challenge him to do that at Maasai Mara!”
Another said: “Those are not lions, they are lion cubs. Big difference.”
Someone else wrote: “Oh Yeah! Lemme bring my dog and lock him up with it for one minute.”
