And such stories only in Nigeria! Police in Nigeria detained goat on suspicion of armed robbery and attempted theft. The news of the animal's arrest made headlines in Nigerian newspapers yesterday. Police spokesman for the city of Ilorin (north of Lagos) Tunde Mohammed said, that a group of people started chasing a few thugs, who tried to steal the car, “however, one managed to escape, and the other turned into a goat”. So they brought a black and white goat to the police station and claiming, that it is a thief, who, with the help of black magic, turned into a goat, accused the animal of attempting to steal a Mazda 323. The animal is in custody since Friday. – We cannot confirm this story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical; to, that a man can turn into a goat must be scientifically proven – Mohammed said. Belief in black magic is very common in many regions of Nigeria.
