According to one of Nigeria’s biggest daily newspapers, police in Kwara State in Nigeria implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In an article in the Vanguard on Friday, two men were reported to have 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 newspaper also reported that police paraded the goat before journalists, and published a picture of the animal. Here’s the actual picture of the car thief-turned goat, as found on the Vanguard’s website:
It remains to be seen what punishment the goat will face for its role in the attempted car theft.
It’s also worth noting a belief in black magic is widespread in Nigeria, particularly in far-flung rural areas.
