Car Thief Turns Into Goat???
Police in Lagos, Nigeria have arrested a goat for car theft. That’s right, I said police arrest goat for car theft. It is a true story, there really is no way my imagination could think this one up.
It seems that two men were seen trying to steal a Mazda. The men fled when they were spotted and were eventually cornered. Now this is where the story turns bizarre. It seems that when one of the men was cornered he used black magic to transform into a goat. Now forgive me for saying this, but what kind of cigarettes were these men smoking? I don’t think it was Newports my friend. And it gets even stranger. The police even paraded this goat around in front of journalists, and published a picture for the local paper. The story goes on to mention that black magic is something that is widespread especially in rural areas.
Now considering the part of the world where this takes place, the story is almost totally believable. But then again, who’s to say that a little embellishment doesn’t go along way also.
Yeah, i saw this article yesterday too… usually when there are reports of such nature, it’s “villagers” who claim witchcraft happened, and it’s police who are trying to investigate despite the obstacles. In this case, it’s the police parading a goat saying “we caught it/him!”. Very strange.
I wonder what they are going to do next? Jail the goat? Or eat it? Wouldn’t that be a form of cannibalism, though?
I heard about that on NPR yesterday, thought that was the funniest things I had ever heard of. Better be werry though won’t be long until this sort of thing starts popping up in America. Cant find the killer that’s because he turned into this Goldfish.
