Goat held accused of being a car thief

Published Date: 24th January 2009 (we were a little slow hearing about this)

POLICE in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery. Vigilantes took the beast to the police saying it was a thief who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest when being pursued after trying to steal a car.
"We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody," said Tunde Mohammed a Kwara state police spokesman.
