I hope they can crack down on this sort of crime. I heard goats are the number one cause of crime in Nigeria.

A goat is being held in police custody in Nigeria on suspicion of the attempted robbery of a Mazda 323 car.

According to Reuters, vigilantes took the animal to a police station, claiming it was a male criminal who had used magic to transform himself into a goat in order to evade capture after stealing the vehicle.

Kwara state police have detained the animal while they ponder their next move.

Metro reports that police spokesman Tunde Mohammed confirmed that the vigilante group had pursued two men suspected of stealing the car. He then explained that, while one had escaped from the mob, the other had transformed into a goat before being herded to the police station.

Mohammed said that the police require scientific proof that the transformation from human to goat took place before charges can be made and added that they cannot base their actions on mysticism, reports Reuters.

Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria. A crowd of residents descended on the police station to catch a glimpse of the potentially-mystical beast.

Saw a melee of seagulls outside the local chippy Saturday night. Yet Daggers still doesn't accept that illegal immigration is rampant...

I'm pretty sure the goat did it, you can tell JUST FROM ITS FACE.

Talking of hard-hitting news stories, this really doesn't justify its own thread:

Thank goodness a bottle of whisky had 'rolled within reach'. What a wizard stroke of luck

I like the quote at the end:

Mr Galliott said he was keeping another bottle of whisky by the sofa "just in case."

If it can happen once, it can happen again.

I like to think that if I became trapped under my sofa, someone would notice my disappearance rather more quickly than Mr Galliott's. Mind you, people might think I'd turned into a goat

I'd hope one of my three housemates would notice a sofa underturned with my arm outstretched clutching a bottle of Jamesons'. I wouldn't be so sure though.
