Newspaper claims suspect transformed into a goat


LAGOS, Nigeria – One of Nigeria's biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men tried to steal a Mazda car two days earlier in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat as vigilantes cornered him.

The paper quoted police spokesman Tunde Mohammed as saying that while one suspect escaped, the other transformed into a goat as he was about to be apprehended.

The newspaper reported that police paraded the goat before journalists, and published a picture of the animal.

Police in the state couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Belief in black magic is widespread in Nigeria, particularly in far-flung rural areas.

LMFAO
really...a goat?
if it were me, i would have turned myself into a falcon, and flew away ;)

Wow... that's local religion for you.

HAHAHAHAHA how cool XD They can all rob banks then throw goats at the scene XD

Gosh I would love to see my editor's face if I handed him a story announcing a suspect at the local prison had turned into a goat!! He would beat me around the head with it, yo!

Ha, ditto. That story DEFINITELY wouldn't run...

This guy turning into a goat is just as believable as any other religious story. Maybe the goat-transformer will have books written about him.

a goat, is that the best they could come up with.lol
