Baaaaaaaah!

A goat has been detained on suspicion of armed robbery, police in Nigeria have confirmed.

A group of vigilantes caught the animal and took it to the Kwara state force where they alleged that it had attempted to steal a Mazda 323, reports Metro.

The local group claimed that a criminal had used black magic to transform himself into a goat in order to escape the scene.

Police spokesman Tunde Mohammed said: "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.

"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 human being turned into a goat."
