Nigerian police have arrested a man who they claim transformed into a goat.
Local media claimed that two men tried to steal a car in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat when cornered by vigilantes.
The press quoted a police spokesman as confirming the transformation, saying that the man transformed just before he was apprehended. Police also paraded the goat before journalists as proof that they had captured the car thief.
