Who's Driving?

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) – One of Nigeria’s biggest daily newspapers reported that police implicated a goat in an attempted automobile theft. In a front-page article on Friday, the Vanguard newspaper said that two men tried to steal a Mazda car two days earlier in Kwara State, with one suspect transforming himself into a goat as vigilantes cornered him.

The paper quoted police spokesman Tunde Mohammed as saying that while one suspect escaped, the other transformed into a goat as he was about to be apprehended.

Cow Observations:

•It sounds to me like the police should have been doing some breath-testing: themselves and the witnesses.

•This is just one more way that a thief might confound Spiderbot.

•Nigerian newspapers must be a hoot.
