HMMM,
Don't know how to go about this one,
ok fellow nairalanders,in 9ja we have seen people apprehended with human parts for money making rituals which I know a large chunk of you believe that blood money exist.If the devil can give money to ritualists, then we all agree that there are powers on earth that are not God's.So before we all come out to act all enlightened,this is Africa ,lets create room for that "what if this is true?".If money making rituals work,why can't a human being transform into a goat.The fact everyone is joining the 'this is so hilarious band-wagon' is kind of funny.If this thread was 'An 18yr old boy apprehended with human parts'.All you guys will say is that people are desperate to make money,but no one will say the idea of blood money is hilarious.So what is actually hilarious is that a goat was arrested by the police but not that the probability of a man turning into a goat is zero

P.S. no one should say my argument is out of line because its not

@themometer
do you believe blood money rituals actually produce money?
do you believe there are powers outside that of God?
cos if u do,then u are having selective judgement . If people do rituals and actually get rich, why can't a person transform into a goat.
Nigerian Police arresting a goat is hilarious fine.
But if you say powers don't exist.
Then face it you are all Yankee-wannabees,Feigning I'm all enlightened and don't believe this crap.
Its 2009 fine,but lets don't come on nairaland pretending we are not Africans

The picture of the Goat on BBC news is different from the one here. I think the police have found the actual goat that committed the robbery, and this innocent one has been released. They must have seriously apologized for defamation of character

There is nothing like money rituals and people can not turn to animals. This is not rocket science.

Of all the considerations that would beset a person whose home was afire, the question of whether the incendiary devices thrown by the arsonist at the building to set it aflame ought to be regarded as simple "Molotov Cocktails" consisting of bottled gasoline fused with a burning rag, or as "magic eggs" thrown by sorcerers, would probabably only be entertained in retrospect.

Jakumo:

Any individual who truly does believe that humans and animals can toggle between one species and the other, or that a few smoke-dried animal parts stitched to garments can impart the moronic wearer with bullet-proof properties, or that vehicular transport is not required by magicians with travel plans, or that verbal curses can inflict any type of damage, or that human cadavers can be fashioned into free cash dispensing ATM machines, is by definition a seriously defective sub-human life-form who, in an ideal world, ought to be apprehended and humanely culled as a public service, so as to prevent contamination of the gene pool with the toxic effluent of mutant DNA carriers.

This one na grammar you de blow o o. Just believe these things even if you don't accept  them. They happen live! Remember that the Bible talked about principalities and powers of this present darkness in high places. These are some of the powers being manifesed in Nigeria for your information .

In as much as this is hilarious
No one should contend the possibility of such happening.
My friend you are entitled to your opinion but the world is still a mystery. Do not be in a haste to pass judgement.
How would you explain this just one
'' as a cult boy and a capoon, I have metal talisman given to me by my witch doctor which I alwys wear around my waist. I also have some concotions incised into my body.
The way it works is that whenever there is danger for instance, enemies from rival cult are closing in on me, the metal contracts and grips me on my waist. On noticing that, I will be on the run with the metal relaxing the farther away I am from the threat.
The day Iwas shot on the nose, I was not wearing this metal. It was on a book rack on the wall. But I sensed there is danger. I looked for it and could not find it. I was not comfortable until it fell down from the rack stretching visibly. It was late by then because at that moment, the guys were on my door.
They used their machette on me and there was no wound. they said' im carry jazz''. Then they brought a gun to shoot me, I was strucgling with them when it went off and shot me on the nose ridge. I fell down and they left me for dead . . . ''

How do you explain it?.
Someone may ask me if I was there. I saw the 'agwara' the metal. I know it is true. If you wanna know how, hit me up and I will tell you.
These things are possible but may not be as widespread as it is believed in Naija.
At least I know that vigilantes only operate in the night, so it is possible everywhere was dark and the guy disappeared at a point where a sheep/goat was grazing and the guys shouted Eureka!
