Nigerian Cops Arrest Carjacking Goat

Those Nigerian cops sure know how to do detective work. While chasing a couple of carjackers, one of the suspects transmogrified himself into a goat to avoid arrest. But such shapeshifting trickery won’t get past Nigeria’s finest law enforcement officers!

From the Vanguard here:

It was a shocking sight yesterday as men of the Kwara State Police Command paraded a goat as an armed robbery suspect.

The goat “suspect” is being detained over an attempt to snatch a Mazda car. The mysterious goat, according to the Police, is an armed robber who attempted to snatch the car Wednesday night, and later transformed into the goat in a bid to escape arrest.

Police explained that officers had chased two armed robbery suspects who wanted to carjack the Mazda, and while one of them escaped, the other was about to be apprehended by the team when he turned his back on the wall and turned into this goat. They quickly grabbed the goat and here it is.

The police spokesman said the goat “armed robbery suspect” will not be left off the hook until investigations into the case are concluded.

Mighty fine policework there, Lou.  Now I understand why so many scammers are running around in Nigeria.  They keep turning into goats to avoid arrest!  All those Nigerian scam emails?  Written by goats.  Srsly.
