Yeetle Box - Nigeria Gets Its Goat


Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.

Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323.

"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 bleated.

"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 said. "We have ordered DNA tests."

Residents came to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.

The Nigerian Dwarf Goat Association has been contacted to help rescue the goat-man.

I like how the magical being whom turned itself into a goat, was robbing some one for a Mazda 323. I guess it has good leg room.
