The injury was very severe that Alec had to be rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. The doctors affirmed the severity of the Prophet’s case, but assured that he would still have his left bum intact.
Alec was eventually stitched up and discharged after spending the night in hospital.
“I do not know what came over me,” Alec confessed, adding: “I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals. Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth.”
This is not the first time a rather outrageous test of faith of this nature has been practiced in Africa.
There was the case of one Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, who told his congregation that he was capable of reenacting the very miracles of Jesus Christ., one of which was walking on water.
Kabele decided to make it clear through way of demonstration on Gabon’s beach in the capital city of Libreville.
He took his congregation out to the beach and reportedly drowned while trying to cross by foot the Kombo estuary which is normally a 20 minute boat ride.
There was also the case of a certain Prophet who claimed to be able to do what Daniel of the Bible did by walking into a den full of lions.
In a related development at Ibadan zoo in south-west Nigeria, the self-proclaimed prophet was warned numerous times by zoo keepers, but he thought of them as nothing more than enemies of progress.
Prophet Abodunrin as his name goes, was said to have put on a long red robe and proceeded to enter the cage full of lions, with a crowd of people watching,.
Witnesses disclose that within seconds of opening the door, the lions ripped the prophet from flesh to bone.
