Newspaper claims suspect transformed into a goat

LAGOS, Nigeria ? One of Nigeria's biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men 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 paper quoted police spokesman Tunde Mohammed as saying that while one suspect escaped, the other transformed into a goat as he was about to be apprehended.

The newspaper reported that police paraded the goat before journalists, and published a picture of the animal.

Police in the state couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Belief in black magic is widespread in Nigeria, particularly in far-flung rural areas

If it was claimed that the goat then walked on water or turned water into wine would it still be so funny?

I don't believe the story. no one would rather spend the rest of his life in a cage as a goat than be caught for a minor theft.

yeah, but I'm sure some would find it more believable.

Other people people in Allah, Jehova or god.
In Africia the belief in witches exist, albinos are hunted by spiritual leaders and so on.

I wouldn't be suprised if the goat have a symbolic reference to something Tunde Mohammed believes in.
