(Reuters) - 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 told Reuters by telephone.
"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.
Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation. Residents came to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.

Makes me wonder what a trial would be like for such a "robber".
"You are hereby charged with armed robbery and witchcraft. How do you plead?"
"Maaaaa."
"Bleat once for guilty, bleat twice for innocent."
"Maaaaa."
"Guilty!"

@zob, lol
Not a good day for the Nigerian police force.
God it would be hilarious to watch them interrogate the goat for information

Interesting...
Wouldn't you choose somthing a little more... Helpful? Like if you had the power to transform wouldn't you choose somthing that could fly off or somthing like a lion that they would run from?
I mean, a goat!? Oh yes, watch as I eat my straw... Mwhaha, scared yet mr police officer?

True, but then again, a goat is very non-suspicious. Would certainly make a good disguise had the police not been so crafty and seen through his clear ruse
