Africa. Cradel of civilisation and home to some very stupid and superstitious people. A goat has been arrested for armed robbery. Don’t worry, it’s not that dumb. The armed robber was obviously a shapeshifter who turned themself into a goat after the robbery, because, of couse a goat cannot carry a weapon.
Police in Nigeria are holding a goat handed to them by a vigilante group, which said it was a car thief who had used witchcraft to change shape.
A police spokesman in Kwara State has been quoted as saying that the “armed robbery suspect” would remain in custody until investigations were over.
And then it gets eaten.

When I saw the term ‘were-goat’ I immediately thought this was going to be an article about Gwyneth Paltrow. Needless to say I’m very, very disappointeed.
Sorry. Will try to bring Gwinny in to our next post. (We won’t)
