Nigerian goat detained for armed robbery

A goat has been taken to the police in Nigeria on suspicion of attempted armed robbery in the African country's western Kwara State.

A group of vigilantes took the animal to the police arguing it was an armed robber who was trying to steal a Mazda 323.

The vigilantes claimed the robber had used black magic to transform himself into a goat so that he could escape arrest.

"The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat," Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed told Reuters.

"We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically that a human being turned into a goat," he added.

Residents come to the police station to see the goat and a national newspaper has printed its photograph.

Belief in witchcraft and shapeshifting powers is common among Nigerians.

Now that's what I call a professional reaction, without insulting anybody. He will become a really good politician, I guess :smug:

Why a goat? So many other cool things to turn yourself into and this guy chose a goat.
Unless...thats his plan.

Maybe he's like on level 2, where level 10 is like a lion?

Re: this is awesome

Well, nobody would expect a shapechanging criminal to turn into a goat and if he fails to fool them, he can still become a flea and hop onto the prison guard to escape.

I thought maybe it was in order to hide in a herd... I mean, a <lion> would just scream "car thief", don't you think?

I wonder what magics his prison cell will require, given the 'flea' issue?
