Some days are just 'WTF' from the get-go.......

Well... after a busyish night - I thought I would catch up on the latest news to see what was going on in the world - and there is generally something that makes one say, 'WTF??' ...... and today was no exception.

Headline: GOAT DETAINED OVER ARMED ROBBERY

Yep - in Nigeria - where belief in witchcraft is very widespread still - to the extent of someone being able to turn themselves into a goat!

Now - they are not confirming this - but they do have the goat in custody!!!!

In one of their own online newspapers (link below) - the Nigerian Government made an appeal for this story to be disregarded - but that it is under investigation.
So if this is a hoax - which would be disregarded as a kind of April Fool prank here - why is it under investigation?

Does this mean the goat is still in custody one wonders?
