Three young men who claimed they were coming back from night vigil have been arrested in Amarata, a suburb of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State after two goats belonging to a restaurant owner was found in their possession.

According to Vanguard, the suspected thieves were caught while trying to escape with the stolen animals at an odd hour after they had successfully whisked out the two goats away from the animals’ barn.

According to the eyewitness, when the suspects were accosted by a resident, one of the suspects, holding a Bible in hand, claimed they were Christians returning from a church service, but they could not explain how they came about the goats in their possession.

The resident raised the alarm and alerted a local vigilante group, who later arrested and handed them over to the police. The owner of the goat has however, retrieved her livestock from the police custody.
